The most widely
accepted definition of health is that of the World Health Organization
Constitution. It states: "health is a state of complete physical, mental
and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity"
(World Health Organization, 1946). In more recent years, this statement has
been amplified to include the ability to lead a "socially and economically
productive life". The WHO definition is not without criticism; mainly that
it is too broad. Some argue that health cannot be defined as a state at all,
but must be seen as a dynamic process of continuous adjustment to the changing
demands of living. In spite of its limitations, the concept of health as
defined by WHO is broad and positive in its implications, in that it sets out a
high standard for positive health.
The most solid aspects of wellness that fit
firmly in the realm of medicine are the environmental health, nutrition,
disease prevention, and public health matters that can be investigated and
assist in measuring well-being
In its most
general meaning, physical fitness is a general state of good physical health. A
physically handicapped person's body may be physically fit (healthy), though its
ability is likely to be less than optimum.

Physical fitness
can be divided into different areas, including:
Flexibility, Cardio-respiratory endurance,
Strength

Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans say to aim for at least 2 hours and
30 minutes of aerobic activity that requires moderate effort each week.
Task-oriented fitness:-
A person may be
said to be physically fit to perform a particular task with a reasonable
efficiency, for example, fit for military service.
Military-style :-
In recent years,
Military-style fitness training programs have become increasingly popular among
civilians. Courses are available all over the United States and Europe.
These courses
always have some common elements. They often focus on military style
calisthenics and group runs. The courses are often held very early in the
morning and will meet in almost any weather. Students can expect push-ups,
sit-ups, pull-ups, and jumping jacks, as well as more obscure drills such as
flutter kicks, sun worshippers and flares. Almost invariably a workout will
include short runs while longer runs are more scheduled. Special forces are
commonly renowned for their level of fitness and intensity of their workouts.
A healthy diet
is a diet which contains a balanced amount of nutrients, varied food such as
fruits and vegetables, proteins primarily from fish, dairy products, and nuts.
Minimal amounts of caffeine, sugar, fat, salt, and alcohol. Healthy eating is
identical to a healthy diet, in that it relates to the practice of food intake
for healthy living. Governments often use this term to refer to the ideal diet
which the average person requires to remain healthy...
