While physical health is perhaps the most commonly considered of these components, balancing all five is vital to achieving optimal health on the job and off.
Physical health refers to the body's physiological condition.
Smoking, physical activity, alcohol, nutrition and other lifestyle choices can all affect physical wellbeing. Emotional health , the mental state of being, includes the stresses in a person's life, how one reacts to stresses and the ability to relax and devote time to leisure activities. Growing evidence links emotional health to health care utilization, susceptibility to disease and unhealthy lifestyle practices. Social health refers to the ability to get along with others, including family members, friends, co-workers and neighbors. Spiritual health involves the condition of the spirit.
