Question

select the correct answer
what description best defines health?
a. being physically fit, eating a good diet, and not having any major diseases
b. being in the middle, rather than at either extreme, of the health continuum
c. maintaining a balance of physical, mental/emotional, and social well - being
d. eating well, having friends, liking yourself, and living for a long time

Explanation:

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well - being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Option C aligns with this comprehensive view as it mentions maintaining a balance of physical, mental/emotional, and social well - being. Option A only focuses on physical aspects (being fit, diet, no major diseases). Option B's description of being in the middle of a health continuum is too vague. Option D includes some aspects (eating well, friends, liking oneself) but is not as comprehensive as the WHO definition.

Answer:

C. maintaining a balance of physical, mental/emotional, and social well being
