With there being such a plethora of cultures in the world, there are so many different beliefs and practices involving health and wellness, that almost everyone has a different definition of health, and different views on disease and illness in general.

The NHS and Community Care Act 1990 aims to care for individuals in the comfort of their own homes and not in a care home. Community care is used to describe the different services available to help people manage their physical and mental health problems in the community e.g. nursing or social work support (Mind.org.uk, 2015). The NHS and Community Care Act ensures that people can live in their own home, however the home needs to be adapted to the individuals specific needs because some people need additional things for them to be able to live independently. A service provided could be "meals on wheel" which is a service that is payed for be the NHS privately. They are meals that are delivered to old people who cannot cook for themselves (Google.co.uk, 2015); this is to make sure that these individuals do not starve whilst living alone.

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 define in many different ways. Dr Roslyn Franklin defines health as “A multilayered social and ecological phenomenon created in the context of community life. (Dr. Franklin.

In society today, there is an extensive range of definitions of health and wellbeing which can be seen as both positive and negative. A Holistic view can also be identified and defined. These definitions of health have changed over time and will carry on changing within the future. According to where a family lives or their social class everyone will have different meanings and views of health and wellbeing. This may be due to what one person perceives as being healthy as another person may not. Channel 4 learning (no date) describes that a positive view of health can be seen as when a person is more likely to achieve and sustain physical fitness from exercising and are mentally stable. Therefor a negative view can be described when a

The health and well-being of a person depends on lots of different circumstances. It is about finding a good work / life balance and feeling healthy in body as well as mind. It is about feeling good in what you do and who you are as a person, it is about achieving personal goals and accomplishing your hopes and dreams.

”Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." (WHO, 1948) Wellness

Health is a condition that conveys and explains people’s state of being. Thus, it is highly subjective. Having good health means different kinds things to different kind of people and its meaning changes according to person and community prospects and environment.
