Introduction to Medicine and Health.
What is Medicine?.
Medicine is the science of studying the structure, composition, component of drugs and their interaction with the body as well as maintaining, restoring, repairing and treating health and the well-being of health through drugs.
What is health?.
There is a saying that health is wealth. That's the most common and popular definition. But there are more to health other than just a paraphrase. Now here arise the question "WHAT IS HEALTH"
Well by the inspiration from God translated by me. Health is the state of being healthy physically fit and free from diseases, disorder, trauma, allergies and other conditions.
Types of Health:
There are some terms relating to health but health is categorised into two groups namely:
1. Physical health (wellness and well-being), and
2. Spiritual health (Soundness and Maturity).
1. Physical health: This is the state of being healthy physically, that is being free from anything that can alter the normal functioning of our body. These are some terms relating to physical health include:
Diseases, Sickness, Condition e.t.c.
2. Spiritual health: This refers to our thinking, feeling and beliefs rather than physical. It deals most with our unseen aspect of life like our minds, thinking, reaction and our imagination. Terms used in this aspect include trauma, disorder, ailment, illness, suffering, allergies, impairment e.t.c.
That's all about introduction to Medicine and Health. We shall talk on Education and Religion on the next post. After that we will be able to cover some topics including factors that contribute to the alteration of our health and how we can maintain and prevent them.
