Question

What is poor health?

Answer 1

Hint: As we know that health is a state of physical, mental, social and economic well-being, so poor health is a state of inability to perform physically, mentally or socially and being in a state of absolute discomfort.

Complete Answer:
- Poor lifestyle choices, such as smoking, overuse of alcohol, poor diet, poverty, lack of physical activity and inadequate relief of chronic stress are the major causes in the development and progression of preventable chronic diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and several others and ultimately leads us to a poor health.
- The causes of poor health for many people are because of the political, social and economic injustices. Poverty is both a cause and a consequence of poor health. Let us also discuss some signs of poor health.
- The important signs are: Abdominal Pain, Sudden Weight Loss or Gain, Changes in Appetite, Fatigue or Weakness, Shortness of Breath, Nausea or Vomiting, Difficulty in Swallowing, etc.
- These signs should never be ignored and they should always be served with proper attention. They serve as an alarm for our body.

Note: Better health is directly linked to a human's happiness and well-being. Indirectly, it also makes an important contribution to the economic progress of the nation as the healthy population will live longer and as they are healthy, they are more productive. So, we should always keep trying to bring out the people around us from their state of poor health and make a healthy environment around us.
