It has become fashionable to talk about the problem of he alth everywhere: In the media, on television, in educational institutions. Many really understand and accept such a value, but what is traditionally invested in this concept - he alth or, as they say today, individual human he alth? What is his physical and spiritual essence? It is worth understanding whether we generally define the concept of “individual he alth” for ourselves correctly.
Public and individual he alth. What's the difference?
The concept of public he alth is quite broad and includes the concept of the well-being and well-being of society. The state of the psychological climate of the society depends on what indicator the index of the he alth of the society has. People sometimes hear definitions“sick society”, “infected society”, “unfavorable climate of the team” - these phrases directly reflect the state and problems of the functioning of a certain team or part of it, but not an individual member of this team. The concept of individual he alth is distinguished by concretization and substantive attribution to a specific person, has several components, primarily such as spiritual and physical he alth.
Without taking into account all the components, the concept will be incomplete. In this regard, this concept is characterized as a positive state of the individual personality, which is in harmony between all the components of the concept of individual he alth: its physical, spiritual and social essence.
Physical well-being, its place in a comprehensive he alth system
Emotional comfort of a person directly depends on physical comfort. The concept of physical he alth, in a narrow sense, means the absence of diseases and somatic disorders of the body. In a broader sense, physical he alth is ensured by motor tone, rational nutrition, hardening and cleansing of the body, a combination of mental and physical labor with the ability to relax, exclusion from the use of various psychoactive substances.
A person may not have a history of diseases, pathologies of systems and organs, but the overall tone of the body is significantly reduced, sleep is disturbed, mental activity is unproductive. This, first of all, indicates thatthe physical and spiritual he alth of a person are in disharmony, which will gradually lead to the emergence of psychosomatic complications and subsequently to diseases already at the physical level.
Factors affecting the physical he alth of an individual
It is believed that the state of a person's physical he alth directly depends on the factor of heredity. Genetic predisposition to certain diseases leads to the constitutional weakening of specific organs, which over time becomes the cause of the development of pathologies. The next, no less important factor is a person's lifestyle, the presence of bad habits, the level of awareness of factors that are harmful to human he alth. A person provokes many diseases in himself, neglecting the rules of a he althy lifestyle and succumbing to temptations and temptations. In this regard, there is a clear connection between the concepts of spiritual and physical he alth.
Spiritual he alth of a person
Under the concept of the spiritual component of individual he alth, it is customary to understand the ability of a person to cope with difficult circumstances of life, while maintaining an adequate model of behavior and an optimal emotional background. Spiritual he alth is provided by the process of thinking, knowledge of the surrounding world and the correct orientation in it. A person can achieve perfection of spiritual he alth:
- learning to live in harmony with oneself and with the outside world at the same time;
- having learned to predict and model lifesituations;
- forming the style of your own response.
Spiritual and physical he alth of a person, being in close relationship, jointly affect the indicator of general well-being: a disorder of spiritual he alth entails a deterioration in physical indicators and vice versa.
Factors that form the spiritual component of human he alth
Understanding what a he althy lifestyle is and not everyone can follow it: many, knowing the rules, nevertheless prefer to live without rules. Therefore, the first and main factor influencing spiritual he alth is the attitude towards a he althy lifestyle. A person tends to repeat those types of behavior that bring pleasure, so it can be quite difficult to give up certain eating habits, harmful stereotypes. Naturally, the choice in favor of a he althy lifestyle requires a high level of understanding and interest and directly depends on the individual lifestyle.
An equally important factor in choosing a lifestyle is the environment, which demonstrates different models of existence and forms stable stereotypes of behavior among individual members. The environment, as you know, directly affects individual he alth, its physical and spiritual essence depends on the level of motivation to follow the rules of a he althy lifestyle.
Social he alth or the ability to live in society
The concept of social he alth refers to the abilityhuman to adapt in natural and social environments. It is achieved by the ability to anticipate the occurrence of threatening and non-standard situations, assess their possible consequences, make an informed decision and act in accordance with one's capabilities. The concept of social adaptation includes the complete adaptation of a person to the conditions of the team. The physical, social and spiritual he alth of each member of society constitutes the general social well-being of the collective. In a he althy society, non-standard situations occur much less frequently and are, as a rule, of a natural nature.
Factors affecting social he alth
An important social factor is the state of the environment in which a person lives. Pollution of natural resources leads to an increase in the stress background of the body, physical disorders in the human condition, and a decrease in the emotional background. An equally important factor is the availability of quality medical care, which significantly reduces the risk of psychosomatic diseases and complications in people. Against this background, the level of physical well-being, emotional stress significantly increases or decreases, the spiritual component of he alth suffers. Spiritual and physical he alth, together with social he alth, constitutes the individual he alth of the individual. At the same time, all three components are equally significant and complementary.
He alth as the main value
Understanding and awarenesshe alth as the main value in the modern world is not given to everyone. Most often, a person brings to the fore career, material we alth, prestige in society, forgetting about he alth and inner harmony. Only after losing he alth, people begin to understand its value, but it is not easy, and sometimes impossible, to return the lost.
The modern parable of the rich man tells how a young businessman accumulated a huge fortune and lived only for profit and money. One day the Angel of Death came for him and told him to get ready. The businessman asked to give him some time, because he did not have time for the main thing in life, but the Angel was inexorable. Then the young man decided to buy some time and offered a million, then two, then his entire fortune for a few days of life. It was not possible to buy life, since money has no value in the other world, a successful businessman went after the Angel without completing the main thing in his life. Individual he alth, its physical, spiritual and social essence are in harmony when a person correctly prioritizes and follows them.
A harmoniously developed personality is a guarantee of he alth?
Given that the three components of individual he alth interact and complement each other, it can be argued that internal and external harmony will be the key to human he alth. The individual he alth of a person, his physical and spiritual essence cannot be perfect without social well-being, in turn, a person withdisturbed physical or spiritual beginning. A he althy lifestyle, proper nutrition, emotional comfort, a positive psychological attitude, the correct setting of priorities are the key to a harmoniously developed personality with perfect physical, spiritual, and social he alth. Such a person is hard to find now. But it is in your hands to become one.
