    Hi There,
    The World Health Organization (WHO) describes a widely accepted definition of health, which states that "health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". Lately, this statement has been modified to include the ability to lead a "socially and economically productive life."

    The LaLonde report suggested that there are four general determinants of health which he called:
    # Human biology
    # Environment
    # Lifestyle
    # Healthcare organization
    Thus, health is maintained through the science and practice of medicine, but can also be improved by individual effort.

    Examples of steps to improve one's health:
    # Physical fitness
    # Weight loss
    # A healthy diet
    # Stress management training
    # Stopping smoking and other substance abuse

    Hope it helps
