As the world continuously changes, new health concepts emerge as a combination of various thought processes worldwide. Human beings constantly strive to achieve good health individually, in a community, or even as a country. However, when one looks around, one concludes that health all over the globe is variable
A person's health may also depend upon his profession, income, society, and education. The determinants of health depend upon money, power, and resources at a local, national and international level resulting in the variation of the health of different groups of people living in different areas of the earth. Health is the ability to adapt to change and manage oneself during various situations. A different group of people has different ideas of being healthy. Modern health care and medicinal systems focus on the study of diseases, neglecting the study of health. This results in a change of attention the people to be disease free rather than healthy. However, when people fail to get fit and achieve a healthy mind and body, such a condition can be termed ill health.
It is a state of the person of inferior health in which some disease or impairment of function is present but is usually not as serious in terms of curtailing activity as an illness a condition of inferior health in which some disease or impairment of function is present but is usually not as serious in terms of curtailing activity as an illness. Health perfectly combines a person's physical, spiritual, and mental well-being. However, a state in which a person cannot achieve such health may lead to ill health. People affected by ill health may find it difficult to live their routine life as they lack any of the mental, physical and spiritual components of their overall health
The definition of health keeps changing with time. It can be classified into four main concepts. The Biomedical concept of health focuses on the medical and disease-free approach of the body. The physical functioning of the human body can get several diseases due to several factors such as lifestyle, aging, nutrition, Injury, and different chronic issues. The ecological concept deals with the environmental factor, basically out of the body. Clean water resources and climatic conditions can be referred to as ecological concepts. Human beings have evolved continuously based on these natural factors. These factors of ecological systems are much more important than the modern health care systems. The mental concept of health is influenced by the psychological, social, and emotional factors of the people. The mental state of mind defines the medical and physical build and condition of the body. Perfect mental peace not only includes the power to counter anxiety, mental suffering, or depressive behavior of a person but also the capability of the person to cope with different situations and find balance in life. Capability to enjoy and appreciate life. Last is the spiritual concept, which defines life's completeness, peacefulness, and fulfilling approach.
The are many factors to have perfect bodily and mental health. A person having strong genetic factors may have the edge over many activities. However, people can inherit many issues which may end up having a series of complications and diseases. Conditions such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and anxiety are common examples that a person can inherit from their family. Economical factors, location, group of people living, and sanitation of the area may end up having a poor effect on the mental and physical self of the person. One of the main contributors causing ill health is that person's choices. The person's choices involve everything that can be controlled, like daily routine, eating habits, physical fitness, smoking, drinking, etc.
Good health help a person to live longer and a high-quality life. A healthy body is more immune to diseases, improving a person's mental stability and helping them in all other aspects. Healthy people will be able to contribute more effectively in their respective fields.
One can prevent ill health by taking small and achievable targets to change their way of living. Lifestyle includes all the activities a person can change, like bad habits like smoking, drinking, unhealthy eating, and lack of exercise. Eating a healthy and fit body will prevent the body from catching a disease, and smoking and drinking can cause cancer and heart conditions. Regular exercising also helps a person to sleep well. Participating in various social activities helps to stabilize the mind so a person will not have a mental illness.
People categorize their health concerns based on their culture. The World Health Organization's (WHO) International Classification of Disease1 (ICD) is regarded as one of the most widely used diagnostic tools in epidemiology, health management, and clinical practice. It analyses the overall health of population groupings and is used to track big disease outbreaks across different nations and populations. It is manufactured following Western biomedical standards. It is often also of little use because, following the terrorist attack in the United States in 2001 (September 11), medical personnel was unable to classify the cause of death and the health problems of the survivors using the ICD-10. Anthropologists discovered many more health issues.
They called these issues "culturally specific syndromes" since they came from around the world. A culture-specific syndrome is a health issue characterized by specific symptoms
Stress, fear, or shock are frequently the underlying causes of culture-specific disorders. Somatization, also known as embodiment, is the process through which the body absorbs social stress and shows signs of pain. Susto, or "fear/shock illness," is common in Spain and Portugal and among Latinos throughout. Susto sufferers blame it on situations such as losing a loved one or being in a horrific accident. Susto symptoms include loss of appetite, motivation, breathing difficulties, widespread discomfort, and nightmares. Many studies have also discovered that social marginalization, or a severe sense of social failure, might put a person at a higher risk of dying. People fast several times during religious festivals. This protracted fasting causes biochemical dysfunction, and studies show that prolonged fasting renders the body incapable of dealing with ingested food. To overcome the biological impediment, medical therapy may include intravenous feeding. Nothing works all of the time, and the disease is deadly. Thus, culture impacts illness categorization, and disease classification differs from culture to culture.
Today the world is growing very fast. People are in a hurry to reach the top of everything. However, they need to understand the importance of their health in achieving their most basic and precious goals. People must prioritize their health over anything else to live a quality life.
