Health and illness

When we are healthy, we feel good, happy and full of energy. When we are tired and our body doesn’t work properly, we are ill.

• Health is a state of physical, mental and social well-being. We can think, move and communicate, because we feel full of energy.

• Illness is the opposite of health. Symptoms, like coughs, pain or fever, tell us our bodies are ill.
