New Points of View on Concept of Health and Lifestyle

Health condition is related to the dynamic equilibrium between the body's abilities and the demands to which it is subjected and should not be regarded as a definitive good win, but as a labile state. Overcoming the defense capacity of organs and body systems, inadequate coverage in the individual psyche phenomena taking place in his own body (or out of) failed social integration characteristic, any of these factors can disturb the health balance and creates conditions for disease. Each person gives particular importance to the five dimensions of health. Some individuals are more interested in intellectual or emotional health than physical health. Others can draw great satisfaction from their relationships with other people or engaging in work for religious ideals. Health dimensions form a whole, which interacts to ensure efficiency and comfort functions. Cultivating a certain proportion entails the development of the rest. Similarly, missing a single dimension can have severe effects on the overall health. To maintain a good health, we must pay attention to all five scales, identifying links between them and trying to keep them in balance. Lifestyle directly influences an individual's health and it is a factor that can be controlled. While heredity and environment play an important role in our health status, the choices we make regarding lifestyle affect our health and influence our health condition to an even greater extent. Lifestyle refers to the way we live (attitudes, habits and behavior) in everyday life. Although not all components of lifestyle is under the control of the individual, everyone deals with different lifestyles that directly affect the health and well-being in the short or long term. Lifestyle includes several components through which people carry out major aspects of their live (example, work, relaxation, nutrition, problem solving). The concept of "style" implies a structure rather than an isolated event. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
