Sometimes we take being healthy for granted until for some reason we become ill or find it difficult to cope.
In the last decade there has been unprecedented interest on the part of individuals in their own health care. People want to participate in their own health care and governments are keen to encourage them in order to cut down on increasing health cost.
Investigating personal health and well-being
Consider how healthy you are. You know how unpleasant it is to feel unwell but what does being healthy really mean? A person who is in good health is someone whose body is working at maximum efficiency mentally and physically.
Here are some factors which affect your health:
Inheritance
Environment
Age
Organism, microbes, parasites
Gender
Education
Climate
National services relating to health and welfare

In addition to these factors, increasing attention is being paid to lifestyle factors. Why do cancer, diabetes, heart disease and strokes occur particularly in our western society?
The quest for finding out is known as epidemiology. Epidemiologists are now identifying `lifestyle’ factors, particularly diet and lack of exercise, as causes of health problems. We all have the power to influence our own health.
The effects of lack of exercise
It is often said that the people who would benefit most from exercise feel least like taking it! Certainly lack of exercise contributes to obesity, cardiovascular problems, muscle weakness and stress.
Effect of stress
Stress is a condition which can result from many different life activities and events. Some stress can be good for us and can be used positively. But in certain situations it can be detrimental to our mental and physical health.
The effects of lack of sleep
Different people need different amounts of sleep. Adults average eight hours a night, older people need less and younger people more.
While we sleep our bodies repair themselves. Good sleep is vital for the processes of renewal in the body. A person who is deprived of sleep experiences great difficulty in concentrating and dealing with even simple problems.
If we are unable to sleep properly, it may indicate that we are worried, drinking too much alcohol or taking insufficient exercise.
There is nothing better than natural sleep and people who are experiencing problems might consider some of the following remedies:
Taking more exercise – try walking or jogging
Having a milky drink before bed
Avoiding rich, highly spiced foods
Reading before going to sleep
Trying a mental task like counting sheep
Keeping warm
Cutting down on noise
Not smoking in the bedroom
Having a really comfortable bed

The World Health Organisation has produced a definition of health which many people use:
‘Health is a status of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity).
Perhaps dividing the concept of health into these different aspects could be considered to be artificial, but it is useful for study purposes. However, it is important that we remember to consider people as whole human beings (this is called the holistic approach).
The holistic approach is also known as PIES (and this might help us remember the four different aspects of health):
Physical
Intellectual
Emotional
Social

Physical aspects of health:
These aspects concern the physical functioning of the human body: Sufficient food of the right types and proportions, clean drinking water, warmth provided by heating and clothing, having the right amount of sleep and rest and exercise regularly.
Social aspects of health:
These include the ability to form good relationships with other people and ability to maintain these relationships.
Intellectual aspects of health:
These include the ability to think clearly and in an organised way.
Emotional aspects of health:
These include people’s abilities to recognise emotions, such as grief, excitement, fear, joy, etc. and to express these emotions appropriately. It also means being able to cope with stress, worry and sadness when these occur in our lives.

Members of some minority ethnic groups experience worse health than other groups. Here is a example of some research: Richer minority ethnic groups, including Indians and African Asians including Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Caribbean communities.
How do we explain these inequalities in health? One explanation for these inequalities in health is that they reflect social class differences.
The most recent migrants – such as those Bangladeshi and Pakistani and Indian descent to be concentrated in the lowest occupational groups and in the poorest housing, as well as;
low-paid manual occupations;
jobs in industries that are most hazardous to health, such as laundry, textiles and clothing industries;
occupations that have been especially affected by successive economics recessions, such as in textiles and footwear.
Shift work, poor job security and fringe benefits, low pay and the high risk of unemployed are all likely to lead to poorer health among black and minority ethnic communities.
So the differences in health not linked to specific genetic, diseases are likely to be linked to poverty.
