For the human body, health is a positive state where every part of the mind and body is in harmony. Additionally, it is also functioning and balancing the other parts. Thus, in other words, when all parts of the body are functioning well, this physical well-being state of the human body is called health. It is well said and proved that a healthy person is someone who has a sound body and sound mind. Health is one of the characteristics of life that helps a person longer.
According to WHO, health is a state of complete spiritual, physical, and social well-being and not only the absence of disease. If a person is in a good physical state and free from any diseases but is under the constant stress, greed, tension, anger etc., then that person is not healthy.

For a human body,a mixed diet is considered the best option. It should have an adequate amount of minerals, vitamins and calories required to run our body.
One of the major sources of good health and hygiene is pure water. Although it seems like a normal thing, water is one essential that makes up our body. Many people get sick because of drinking impure water. Also, it mostly happens in villages where people bath, wash clothes and clean the cattles in the same water. Thus, when this water is used for drinking purposes, then it may result in hazardous health.
Cleanliness is one of the most important elements of good health. Thus, it is an important hygiene habit to keep yourself and your surroundings neat and clean.
