Risks and types of Health and Wellness

Health is usually defined as one’s overall mental and physical state during the span of his life. That is the absence of diseases from one’s body.
This isn’t the absolutely same thing as wellness because wellness refers to one’s state of being in optimal physical and mental health. But wellness is not just it, wellness is more than that. It is about living a life full of personal responsibility and therefore taking more proactive steps can change one’s overall well-being.

Life also contains some risk factors related to wellness and health.
This means that an individual’s life very well contains some risk factors that can harm individual health. Risk factors are of many different types. Risk factors are different types of actions or some conditions that can increase one’s chances of illness and injury or even harm.
