Physical health, like each aspect of health, is on a continuum—in other words, nobody’s ever absolutely healthy and nobody’s ever absolutely unhealthy. This relative level of healthiness is always interrelated with other aspects of health—psychological, sociological, and spiritual. For example, some people, such as models or actors/actresses, who seem to be the “healthiest” (i.e. buff, skinny, tanned, muscular, or whatever words might come to mind) may be unhealthy in other aspects of their lives, so when everything is considered, their overall “health” (wellness quotient—see the quiz) is far less than they may have thought.

However, when you consider biological health alone, certain components are immediately evident, including (we know this is not an exhaustive list, but it is quite inclusive):

Good nutrition (eating and drinking the right things; avoiding the rest)

Avoiding toxins in your air, water, and general environment

Getting enough of the right kind of exercise

Getting enough rest

Taking charge or your health by seeing your medical/dental providers regularly
