Feedback:
The WHO definition of health is defined as “a state of complete physical, mental, and
pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz
social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” Engaging in
pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz
book reviews facilitates mental and social well-being; chair aerobics helps facilitate
pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz
physical well-being; and assisting with tight control of diabetes helps with facilitating
pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz
physical well-being even though the person has a chronic disease. Handwashing is vital
pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz pz
in the prevention of disease and spread of germs.
