True
Good health is more than just the absence of disease.
Health is more than just the absence of disease or infirmity because it encompasses physical, mental, and social well-being. It involves a state of complete physical, mental, and social wellness, not just the absence of illness. This holistic approach to health recognizes the importance of overall well-being and quality of life.
Early definitions of health focused on illness. Health was considered as nothing more than absence from disease. As medical and health experts received better training, they began to focus on prevention of illness and disease as well as treatment of people who were already sick.
Yes. Although being healthy can mean not being sick or diseased, most people who are described as "healthy" are not addicted to things like cigarettes or alcohol (to name a couple), and are not obese. Usually being "healthy" means eating right and exercising.

Health has gone through some changes during time. In the early years to be healthy was considered the absence of disease. However over time it has evolved to the five component model. To be considered in good health the person must achieve overall well-being in these categories PHYSICAL EMOTIONAL MENTAL SPIRITUAL and SOCIAL. These aspects work together to produce the definition of health. So, to answer your question health is a lot more then just physical well-being.
Holistic health is not itself a method of treatment, but is an approach to how treatment should be applied. Holistic concepts of health and fitness view achieving and maintaining good health as requiring more than just taking care of the various singular components that make up the physical body, additionally incorporating aspects such as emotional and spiritual well-being. The goal is a wellness that encompasses the entire person, rather than just the lack of physical pain or disease. This means that not feeling sick, does not necessary mean you are well, just that you are between well and sick. When symptoms develop, it is often long after the cause of the symptoms occurred. It is often used in contrast to the medical model that focuses on treating symptoms and syndromes without attempting to address functioning beyond the absence of disease, the Holistic approach focuses on the cause.
