Introduction to portfolio
What is health?
Health is a state of complete physical,
mental and social well-being and not merely
the absence of disease or infirmity.

How can health be maintained?

Steps you can take:
Healthy movement may include walking,
sports, dancing, yoga, running or other
activities you enjoy. Eat a well-balanced,
low-fat diet with lots of fruits, vegetables
and whole grains. Choose a diet that's low
in saturated fat and cholesterol, and
moderate in sugar, salt and total fat.
Why being healthy is necessary?
Keeping healthy is a key part of your life. It
is important to stay healthy because it will
free you of health issues later down the
line. Keeping healthy will also help you
keep free of chronic diseases, like heart
disease and cancer.

diseases whose occurrence is primarily

people under 70.
