Introduction
Health is wealth and everyone must give prime importance to health. As per the definition of health given by WHO, health does not mean merely the absence of physical disease it also includes social and mental wellbeing. To be healthy as per WHO we need to take care of our physical, mental and social health. Health mainly depends on lifestyle. Lifestyle means a typical way of life of an individual, group or culture. If you adopt a healthy lifestyle then you can improve your health status also. The second aspect is taking care of health, especially under particular health conditions for example high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes or thyroid disorder etc. One can prevent further complications of all these disorders by taking care of his or her health. This healthcare management needs to adopt a typical lifestyle along with medication or proper treatment. A very important aspect is of mental health.
