Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, not just the absence of disease. Modern science quantitatively defines health as the sum of "reserve capacities" of basic functional systems.
In this sense, we should think about whether our way of life is only consuming and reducing our health reserves and whether we are doing enough to preserve and improve our health.
Health is not only our property. We not only inherited health from our ancestors, but also borrowed it from our descendants.
With our behavior, lifestyle and attitude towards health, we not only affect our health, but also the life and health of our children, our grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Life expectancy and health reserves are not determined only by heredity.
They are greatly influenced by other factors, first of all, the way and conditions of life and work.
The health of modern man is most threatened by excessive and inadequate nutrition, insufficient physical activity, stressful overexertion, pollution of the living and working environment, and harmful habits.
Excessive nutrition in combination with hypokinesia and excessive nervous-emotional loads causes the largest number of modern diseases of civilization: diseases of the musculoskeletal system, diseases of the heart and blood vessels, respiratory organs, digestion and various nervous-emotional diseases.
Movement, optimal physical activity, is a condition for preserving human health and the normal functioning of organs, systems and the human organism as a whole.
Any excessive restriction of motor activity is contrary to human biological nature. It causes various disturbances and disorders of the functions of the most vital organs and systems of the body, which are initially only functional, and later organic in nature.
