Physical health is part of an individual's functioning that involves body functions, primarily relating to general body conditions such as the appearance and structure of various body organs and parts, metabolism, and disease states.
Some definitions argue that physical health is the absence of any disease/illness and deformity. True physical health, however, goes beyond just the absence of disease but also strives to create a balanced ecosystem within the body. It is about your body being able to optimize all functions appropriately and efficiently.
Being physically healthy, therefore, is not only about exercise but also good nutrition, sleep, and hygiene, as supported by study.com/physical health.
The body consists of various systems that function harmoniously in order to ensure physical stability. These are the cardiovascular system (heart and blood vessels), respiratory system (lungs), integumentary system (skin), musculoskeletal system (muscles and bones), lymphatic system (lymph nodes), nervous system (neurons), digestive system (gastrointestinal tract), urinary system (urethra and bladder), and reproductive system (ovaries and penis).
Some common examples of prime physical health include:
Having proper and normal visual functions.
Being able to perform various body movements, gestures, and motions well.
Having normal heartbeats and pulse rate.
Having normal breathing rates and cycles.
Having a good hearing range and acuity.
Having normal intervals of passing urine, sweat, and fecal matter.
Good body posture, physique, and healthy skin.
