Question

Is being healthy and being disease free the same?

​​​​​​

Answer 1

Health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely an absence of any disease.

Physical health and mental health are inter-related. When a person can work hard, interact well with people, enjoy leisure and can adopt to changes and stresses of life, maintains personal hygiene, has a good appetite, then the person is in good health. Disease free just means absence of disease.
