SDG - 3 - Good Health and Well-Being
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
Ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being at all ages is essential to sustainable development. Currently, the world is facing a global health crisis unlike any other — COVID-19 is spreading human suffering, destabilizing the global economy and upending the lives of billions of people around the globe.
Before the pandemic, major progress was made in improving the health of millions of people. Significant strides were made in increasing life expectancy and reducing some of the common killers associated with child and maternal mortality. But more efforts are needed to fully eradicate a wide range of diseases and address many different persistent and emerging health issues. By focusing on providing more efficient funding of health systems, improved sanitation and hygiene, and increased access to physicians, significant progress can be made in helping to save the lives of millions.
Health emergencies such as COVID-19 pose a global risk and have shown the critical need for preparedness. The United Nations Development Programme highlighted huge disparities in countries’ abilities to cope with and recover from the COVID-19 crisis. The pandemic provides a watershed moment for health emergency preparedness and for investment in critical 21st century public services.

What is the Definition of Health?
Health can be defined as a state of complete physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being, which consists in maintaining the body as much as possible by following daily advice and preventive measures to reduce the possibility of diseases.
Health has an important role in feeling happy, as there are many people who suffer from diseases, but the health enables them to fight diseases, as a result, they achieve physical fitness and feel comfortable or enjoy life like any normal person.
Importance of Good Health in Human Life
Health is the body's functional and metabolic efficiency, and its ability to adapt to the physical, mental, and social changes that it is exposed to.
Health is the opposite of disease, and also means the safety of the body from physical, social, and mental disorders.
Health is the factor that helps a person perform his daily life tasks in a correct and right way.
A person's physical health means that the body does not have any diseases in all parts of his body, and the safety of all its membranes.
While mental and social health is represented by the ability of a person to accomplish social tasks entrusted to him without defect or error.
The importance of good health in a person’s life is undoubtedly great. In this article, we will highlight some important points that fully define the importance of health in our lives.
Then, in the next part of the article, we'll discuss how we can achieve good health and well-being. Let's start!
➤A healthy person is a person who is able to serve himself, his nation and his community.
An unhealthy person who suffers from illness sees him weak and meager, unable to properly carry out the duties and responsibilities incumbent on him.
When the disease develops, the person becomes dependent on other people and cannot meet his different needs in life, which affects his psyche as well due to his sense of helplessness and weakness.
Society is also affected by the presence of the disease among its members, as the productivity of these patients weakens, and they become dependent on society.
As for the presence of healthy individuals in society, this means the presence of productive individuals who possess the power and the ability to give and serve.
➤The importance of health for a person is that it saves him the costs of treatment and the hassle of going to hospitals.
A healthy person who is far from the disease sees him saving money that he would have spent on the disease if he neglected his health, so it is always said that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".
You see many governments that are exposed to the spread of epidemics and diseases among their members spend a large part of the money to buy medications to treat these cases.
You also see governments and societies that are concerned with the safety of their people focusing on aspects of prevention and health guidance.
➤Psychologically healthy people feel comfortable and happy in their lives and enjoy life well.
A person who suffers from mental illnesses always sees him as a gloomy and pessimist and does not feel happy in his life and in his relationships with people.
While you see a healthy person enjoying happiness in his life, establishing his relationships with people and showing love, kindness, and intimacy.
How can you achieve Good Health and Well-Being?
Eat healthy meals:What you eat is closely related to your health. Eating a healthy diet can help boost your immune systems, help you maintain a healthy weight and can improve your overall health.
Add more fruits and vegetables to your diet:Include fruits, vegetables, grain products, leafy greens, salmon, etc. in your diet. Adding fruits and vegetables is an ideal basis to start a healthy routine.
Drink a lot of water:Drinking a lot of water keeps muscles and joints working, increases the amount of water in your blood, promotes healthy skin and cardiovascular health and helps cleanse toxins from your body.
You can save a lot of money and improve your health by drinking water all day.
Get regular exercise:Do a moderate workout for at least 30 minutes a day, as exercise can help prevent heart disease, stroke, colon cancer, and diabetes.
Wash your hands before eating a meal:Hand washing before eating is a good habit and an effective way to prevent infection.
If you eat something without washing your hands, it is possible that the bacteria and germs that remain on your fingers and palms can be moved into your mouth.
This can affect your overall health and cause diseases and infections.
Protect your skin: Your skin is the first layer of defense in the body, and you need to protect it. In summer, a lot of sunlight is very harmful to your skin cells because UV rays damage or even kill your skin cells.
In winter, fluctuations, redness, allergies and irritation are common skin diseases among many of us.
Cold temperatures and low humidity levels create dry air that pulls moisture away from the skin. Therefore, protect your skin in both seasons.
Get enough sleep:Sleep plays an important role in good health and well-being throughout your life because it enables the body to repair and be fit and ready for another day.
Getting enough sleep at the right times may help prevent physical health problems such as excess weight gain, heart disease, protect your mental health issues and improve your quality of life and safety.
Prevent substance abuse:Avoid smoking, tobacco, alcohol, caffeine and sugary drinks. Smoking, alcohol, and tobacco consumption are harmful to your health, so avoid such things as soon as possible.
When you quit, you will greatly reduce the risk of death from lung cancer and other life-threatening diseases such as heart disease, stroke, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, etc.
Make your lifestyle choices better:You can understand what you should do to enjoy a healthy, happy life.
Poor lifestyle choices contribute significantly to the development and progression of preventable chronic diseases.
Improve your lifestyle, adopt healthy lifestyle choices and create good and healthy habits so that you can make healthy changes in your life.
Carve out time to exercise and find a way to ratchet down stress and depression. I suggest you check out diets, workouts and exercise tips.
Health has an important role in feeling happy, as there are many people who suffer from diseases, but the health enables them to fight diseases, as a result, they achieve physical fitness and feel comfortable or enjoy life like any normal person.
