Physical health is defined as the overall functioning of the body and

how it works properly and how the human’s state of wellbeing is. In
contrary, mental health is defined as state of mind. It is also a state of
psychological and emotional well-being.
Good physical health is achieved by regular exercise .
Regular exercise can decrease the threat of chronic diseases such as
heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Exercise also helps to achieve a
healthy weight, improve bone density, and increase muscle strength.
Eating a healthy diet can better physical health. A diet rich in fruits,
vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats can reduce the
risk of chronic diseases and promote overall well-being. Getting enough
sleep is important for physical health. Insomnia can higher the risk of
being overweight, cardiovascular diseases, and other health problems.
Physical activities release endorphins, which are natural mood-swings.
Exercise can reduce tension and frustration and improve overall mental
health.Maintaining good physical health can improve cognitive function
and reduce the risk of dementia and other cognitive disorders.
Engaging in physical activity can help to improve self-esteem and
confidence.Regular physical activity can improve overall longevity and
reduce the risk of premature death.Sitting for long periods of time can
have negative impacts on physical health, including increased risk of
obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. Taking frequent breaks to stand up
and move around can help to reduce these risks.Physical health is
essential for carrying out daily activities and achieving goals. Poor
physical health can limit mobility and interfere with daily life.Exercise
and physical activity are important for children's physical development
and can improve academic performance. Not only that World Health
Organization (WHO): The WHO promotes the importance of physical
activity for overall health and recommends that adults engage in at
least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity or at
least 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity per
week.Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): The CDC
recommends that adults get at least 7 hours of sleep per night for
optimal health.
American Heart Association (AHA): The AHA promotes a healthy diet
that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins,
and healthy fats, and recommends limiting saturated and trans fats,
added sugars, and sodium.National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH):
The NIMH emphasizes the importance of physical activity for improving
mental health and reducing the risk of developing mental health
disorders such as depression and anxiety.American Academy of
Pediatrics (AAP): The AAP recommends that children and adolescents
engage in at least 1 hour of moderate-intensity physical activity per day

1. Engaging in regular physical activity and maintaining a healthy
diet are essential for achieving and maintaining good physical
health, reducing the risk of chronic diseases, and improving
overall well-being.Physical health is not just about the absence of
disease, but also includes a range of factors such as physical
fitness, mental health, sleep, and nutrition, all of which contribute
to overall well-being.Physical health is a fundamental component
of a happy and productive life, and investing in physical health
through regular exercise, healthy eating, and other lifestyle
choices can pay dividends in terms of improved cognitive
function, increased energy, and reduced risk of disease. Mental
health is necessary for overall well-being: While physical health is
important, mental health is also essential for overall well-being.
Mental health problems can have a significant impact on daily life
and can lead to a range of physical health problems. Ignoring
mental health can also lead to reduced productivity, social
isolation, and reduced quality of life.
Mental health problems can arise from physical health problems:
Physical health problems can also lead to mental health problems. For
example, chronic pain or disability can lead to depression or anxiety,
and chronic illnesses such as diabetes or heart disease can also have
negative impacts on mental health.Mental health problems can have
severe consequences: Mental health problems such as depression,
anxiety, and can have severe result such as suicide and can also lead to
social and behaviour problems. Addressing mental health problems can
not only improve individual well-being but also benefit society as a
whole.Physical health problems are not always preventable: While
engaging in regular physical activity and maintaining a healthy diet can
help prevent some physical health problems, many physical health
problems are not preventable, such as genetic disorders or accidents.
Therefore, it is important to prioritize both aspects of health and seek
appropriate treatment and support when needed.
From these examples it is evidently clear that physical health is better
than mental health. Exercise: Regular physical activity is one of the
most important things you can do to promote physical health. Exercise
can help prevent chronic diseases, improve muscle and bone strength,
and improve cardiovascular health. There are many types of exercises
to choose from, including strength training, cardio, and yoga.Healthy
Diet: Maintaining a healthy diet is also essential for physical health.
Eating a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole
grains, lean protein, and healthy fats can help you maintain a healthy
weight, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and improve overall health.
Sleep: Getting adequate sleep is important for physical health. Sleep is
when the body repairs and restores itself, and lack of sleep can lead to
a range of health problems, including fatigue, weight gain, and
decreased cognitive function. Most adults require 7-9 hours of sleep
per night.Stress Management: Chronic stress can have negative impacts
on physical health, including increased risk of heart disease and
decreased immune function. Therefore, it is important to have
strategies for managing stress, such as meditation, yoga, or other
relaxation techniques.Regular Health Check-Ups: Regular health check-
ups are important for maintaining physical health. They can help detect
and prevent chronic diseases, monitor blood pressure, cholesterol, and
blood sugar levels, and provide information on maintaining healthy
habits.
In conclusion, physical and mental health are both essential
components of overall well-being, and it is not accurate to say that one
is more important than the other. Neglecting one aspect of health can
have negative impacts on the other, and it is important to prioritize
both aspects of health and seek appropriate treatment and support
when needed.
While physical health is necessary for carrying out daily activities and
can have a direct impact on life expectancy, mental health is necessary
for overall well-being and can have a significant impact on daily life.
Therefore, it is important to invest in both physical and mental health
by engaging in regular exercise, maintaining a healthy diet, getting
adequate sleep, managing stress, and seeking appropriate treatment
and support when needed.If we are physically active so our mental
state is also fresh, so it is necessary we should keep ourselves busy in
different activities so its lead to stress free life.
