   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
