11. HEALTH
Read the texts and translate. Does health mostly depend on genetics?
The word "health" derives from Middle English health, meaning hale, hearty,
sound in wind and limb. Dictionary definitions allude to soundness and efficient
functioning and give the same meaning to financial health as to bodily health.
Modern medical practice and public health are concerned about the health of
individuals and populations. However, for most individuals and for many cultures,
health is a philosophical and subjective concept, associated with contentment and
often taken for granted when all is going well. Health in this sense is difficult to
describe or define, but its absence is readily recognizable, even when replaced by
minor departures from an accustomed level of health.
Physical health
Physical fitness is good bodily health, and is the result of regular exercise,
proper diet and nutrition, and proper rest for physical recovery.
A strong indicator of the health of populations is height, which is generally
increased by improving nutrition and health care, and is also influenced by the
standard of living and quality of life. Genetics is also a major factor in people's
height. The study of human growth, its regulators, and its implications is known as
Auxology.
Mental health
Mental health refers to a human individual's emotional and psychological
well-being. Merriam-Webster defines mental health as "a state of emotional and
psychological well-being in which an individual is able to use his or her cognitive
56
and emotional capabilities, function in society, and meet the ordinary demands of
flu AIDS a stroke cancer alcoholism asthma depression pneumonia a heart
attack a cold rheumatism hay fever
everyday life."
According to the World Health Organization, there is no one "official"
definition of mental health. Cultural differences, subjective assessments, and
competing professional theories all affect how "mental health" is defined. In
general, most experts agree that "mental health" and " mental illness" are not
opposites. In other words, the absence of a recognized mental disorder is not
necessarily an indicator of mental health.
One way to think about mental health is by looking at how effectively and
successfully a person functions. Feeling capable and competent; being able to
handle normal levels of stress, maintain satisfying relationships, and lead an
independent life; and being able to "bounce back," or recover from difficult
situations, are all signs of mental health.
All these aspects—emotional, physical, and social—must function together to
achieve overall health.
