“Ang kalusugan ay kayamanan”, wika nga ng popular na kasabihan na nagbubuod sa kahalagahan ng tamang kalusugan at ang tamang nutrisyon ang siyang pundasyon ng kalusugan. Ngunit ano nga ba ang bumubuo sa kalusugan ni Juan at Juana?
Ayon sa World Health Organization (WHO), ang kalusugan o health sa wikang ingles ay "state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
Ngayong buwan ng Marso, sa buwan ng kababaihan, sama-sama nating pagnilay-nilayan ang mga dimensiyon at bumubuo sa ating kalusugan. Mula pa noong elementarya maging sa mga babasahin, ipinahiwatig na sa atin na ang mga dimensiyon ng ating kalusugan ay pisikal, mental o intelektuwal, emosyonal, sosyal, environmental at espiritwal. Sa lahat ng nabanggit, bigyang-pansin natin ang pisikal na siyang may napakalawak na sakop kung kaya’t ito ay itinuturing na pinakakritikal sa ating kalusugan.
