Social well-being

Being healthyinvolves developingthese components



Fitness is to do with the physical,

so your body may be functioningat a peak but the other aspects ofhealth may not be present.

Mental is to do with how well youconcentrate, think things throughand approach life.

Social is to do with how well youinteract, cooperate and deal with

other people.




In order to be healthy you have to

be physically fit.

But as well as exercising in order to

develop the physical component,you also need to be socially andmentally well-adjusted in order to

be healthy.




If the social and mental components

are lacking or underdeveloped youcould still be physically fit but notclassed as healthy.

Exercise is the link between healthand fitness.
