Physical
well-being involves pursuing a healthful lifestyle to decrease the risk of
disease. Maintaining physical fitness, for example, can protect and develop the
endurance of a person’s breathing and heart function, muscular strength,
flexibility, and body composition. Physical and mental health have strong
connections. For example, if a chronic illness affects a person’s ability to
complete their regular tasks, it may lead to depression and stress. These
feelings could be due to financial problems or mobility issues.
