Because there are millions of people in the world, there can be many definitions for health. The text definition for health is an abstract idea for which is said to have many definitions. However, in efforts to provide a multifaceted definition, the World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. This definition is contained in the concept of Holistic Health. Holistic Health is merely a concept of health involving physical, mental, emotional, social, and environmental aspects of a person as well as the community that person lives in. Human potential is obviously missing from the definition. That is were the concept of wellness comes into play. Wellness is your potential and responsibility for health. Every person on this earth is responsible for his or her own health.

2. The second is through behavior change.
