Solution

Health depends on three major factors- physical, social, and mental.

If there are unhygienic conditions in the surrounding area, it is likely we might get infected or diseased. Our surrounding area should be free of stagnant water. This is so because many water-borne diseases and insect vectors flourish in stagnant water, which causes diseases in human beings.

Social harmony and good economic conditions are necessary for good health: Human beings live in societies and different localities like villages or cities, which determines the social and physical environment, and hence both are to be kept in harmony.

Public cleanliness is important for individual health. For better living conditions a lot of money is required. We need good food for a healthy body and for this we have to earn more. For the treatment of diseases also, one has to be in good economic condition.
