Importance of Health

Health is the body’s functional and metabolic efficiency, and its ability to adapt to the physical, mental, and social changes that it is exposed to. 
Health is the opposite of disease, and also means the safety of the body from physical, social, and mental disorders. 
Health is the factor that helps a person perform his daily life tasks in a correct and right way. 
A person’s physical health means that the body does not have any diseases in all parts of his body, and the safety of all its membranes. 
While mental and social health is represented by the ability of a person to accomplish social tasks entrusted to him without defect or error.

➤A healthy person is a person who is able to serve himself, his nation and his community. 
An unhealthy person who suffers from illness sees him weak and meager, unable to properly carry out the duties and responsibilities incumbent on him. 
When the disease develops, the person becomes dependent on other people and cannot meet his different needs in life, which affects his psyche as well due to his sense of helplessness and weakness. 
Society is also affected by the presence of the disease among its members, as the productivity of these patients weakens and they become dependent on society. 
As for the presence of healthy individuals in society, this means the presence of productive individuals who possess the power and the ability to give and serve.

➤The importance of health for aperson is that it saves him the costs of treatment and the hassle of going to hospitals. 
A healthy person who is far from the disease sees him saving money that he would have spent on the disease if he neglected his health, so it is always said that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. 
You see many governments that are exposed to the spread of epidemics and diseases among their members spend a large part of the money to buy medications to treat these cases. You also see governments and societies that are concerned with the safety of their people focusing on aspects of prevention and health guidance.

➤Psychologically healthy people feel comfortable and happy in their lives and enjoy life well. 
A person who suffers from mental illnesses always sees him as a gloomy and pessimist and does not feel happy in his life and in his relationships with people. 
While you see a healthy person enjoying happiness in his life, establishing his life, establishing his relationships with people and showing love, kindness, and intimacy.

Finally, a person must consider many matters and behaviors in life in order to avoid diseases that interfere with his life and to know that illness may be part of the many trials that a person is exposed to.
