By looking at what different people say about health, it is clear that each one look at it differently. Therefore, there are many ways to define health. When we look at health, all physical, intellectual, emotional and social aspects should be considered because they all affect our health equally. Health can be defined in many ways, positively, negatively and holistically. It depends on how the individuals look at their health and how concerned they are about it. Our state of healthiness will depend on many things such as where do we live, what job do we do, what do we eat, who are our friends and everything else related to our lifestyle. Our choice about our lifestyle can make a difference to our health. If we are interested enough in ourselves, we can improve our own health. Some people think, that it depends only on the health care we obtain; however, it doesn't only depend on this. It is connected to our lifestyle as well.

Health can be defined in many different ways, for example, the Bio-Medical model of health believes health to be the absence of pain, biological abnormalities and diseases. Whereas most Socio-medical models of health such as the World Health Organisation consider health to involve a range of different factors such as environment, social life and mental wellbeing alongside the more recognised factors of health e.g. pain and sickness. From a personal perspective, health should cover all aspects, whether it is social, environmental, psychological and physical. All of these aspects are important aspects to a person’s wellbeing.

Personal health and wellness are important factors towards life because without health, our quality of life would suffer greatly.

Health is a big area of human life and it is freedom from disease and sickness. Without health, we cannot do any work and we cannot improve in life. So, health is the primary need for every one of us to achieve.

Health is important because the healthier you are the less likely you are to have illnesses and injuries and the more likely you are to be able to help out others in your community. Health has three components to it. Health includes physical activity, healthy diet, and mental health. Unhealthy lifestyles are usually expressed through obesity. Although, you can eat healthy and not exercise, and vise versa, the maximum level of health is achieved through the combination of physical activity, healthy diet, and good mental health.

Following a diet that is high in fruits and vegetables, high grain/high fiber foods and low in foods that contain cholesterol, is a good way to help keep the body healthy.

Health is the single most important attribute in our lives. Without heath, as a society, we could not achieve the accomplishments and scientific breakthroughs necessary to advance as a society. Many of the luxuries we enjoy today are due to being fortunate enough to be healthy, and understanding what it means to achieve good health. Health can also teach us empathy and compassion. When we witness someone who is ill, we learn to accommodate them and care for them. Health can ultimately unify us. Sports also play a unique role in our lives. Sports allow participants to gain camaraderie, and leadership while teaching us how to motivate ourselves to be better than those who are competing against us. These two things have helped me gain an interest in healthcare, mainly in becoming a sports medicine physician.

Nurses, it will be beneficial to educate the patient about the benefits a patient can gain from a Mediterranean diet. The world heart federation (n.d) believes that patient diet is one of the key things they can change that will impact cardiovascular risk factors. A comparison was made by the World Heart Federation between a diet low in saturated fats, with plenty of vegetables and fresh fruit which is a typically Mediterranean diet and a typical diet. The typical diet looked at someone living in the developed world like the United States. The comparison showed that there is a 73% reduction in the risk of new major cardiac events (n.d).
