The term 'Health' is defined in many ways. The most accurate definition of the health would be:

• A. Health is the state of body and mind in a balanced condition
• B. Health is the reflection of a smiling face
• C. Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being
• D. Health is the symbol of economic prosperity

Answer 1

The correct option is C Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being

Health does not simply mean 'absence of disease' or 'physical fitness'. It could be defined as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. When people are healthy, they are happy with smiling face and more efficient at work. This increases productivity and brings economic prosperity. It also increases longevity of people and reduces infant and maternal mortality.
