Health
Health overall refers to the state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing - well, at least that's according to the World Health Organisation. Here at fitness.com.au, we are focused on the physical fitness side of health, but there are also other areas of health that are equally important. After all, many consider having good health as the most important thing of all.
Mental Health
Mental health issues have been raised to public awareness in recent years, but many Australians still struggle with mental health. Good mental health is defined as being able to handle basic stresses, problem solving, identity, emotional awareness and can work productively towards individual and social goals. However, there is still many subjective considerations to mental health, and this important area of health continues to evolve and develop with understanding.
Social Health
There are many different factors that contribute to an individual's social health. In third world countries, the availability of clean water and other necessities comes under the category of social health. Relevant to many Australians, social health could relate to environment, social activity and healthcare services. This could include the social structure of an individual's life and the positive or negative effects of that structure, or the accessibility to services and facilities from hospitals to local parks.
