It has become fashionable to talk about the problem of health everywhere: in the media, on television, in educational institutions. Many really understand and accept such a value, but what is traditionally invested in this concept - health or, as they say today, individual human health? What is his physical and spiritual essence? It is worth understanding whether we generally define the concept of “individual health” for ourselves correctly.
Public and individual health. What is the difference?
The concept of public health is quite broad and includes the concept of the well-being and well-being of society. The state of the psychological climate of the society depends on what indicator the index of the health of the society has. Among the people, one can sometimes hear the definitions of “sick society”, “infected society”, “unfavorable climate of the team” - these phrases directly reflect the state and problems of the functioning of a certain team or part of it, but not an individual member of this team. The concept of individual health is distinguished by concretization and substantive attribution to a particular person, it has several components, primarily such as spiritual and physical health.
Without taking into account all the components, the concept will be incomplete. In connection with the concept, it is characterized as a positive state of the individual personality, which is in harmony between all the components of the concept of individual health: its physical, spiritual and social essence. 
Physical well-being, its place in a comprehensive health system
The emotional comfort of a person directly depends on the physical comfort. The concept of physical health, in a narrow sense, means the absence of diseases and somatic disorders of the body. In a broader sense, physical health is provided by motor tone, hardening and cleansing of the body, a combination of mental and physical labor with the ability to relax, and exclusion from the use of various psychoactive substances.
A person may not have a history of diseases, pathologies of systems and organs, but the overall tone of the body is significantly reduced, sleep is disturbed, and mental activity is unproductive. This, first of all, indicates that the physical and spiritual health of a person is in disharmony, which will gradually lead to the emergence of psychosomatic complications and subsequently to diseases already at the physical level.
Factors affecting the physical health of the individual
It is believed that the state of physical health of a person directly depends on the factor of heredity. Genetic predisposition to certain diseases leads to the constitutional weakening of specific organs, which over time becomes the cause of the development of pathologies. The next, no less important factor is a person's lifestyle, the presence of bad habits, the level of awareness of factors that are harmful to human health. A person provokes many diseases in himself, neglecting the rules of a healthy lifestyle and succumbing to temptations and temptations. In this regard, there is a clear connection between the concepts of spiritual and physical health. 
Spiritual health of a person
Under the concept of the spiritual component of individual health, it is customary to understand how to cope with difficult life circumstances, while maintaining an adequate model of behavior and an optimal emotional background. Spiritual health is provided by the process of thinking, knowledge of the surrounding world and the correct orientation in it. A person can achieve perfection of spiritual health:
- having learned to live in harmony with oneself and with the surrounding world at the same time;
- having learned to predict and simulate life situations;
- shaping their own response style.
Spiritual and physical health of a person, being in close relationship, jointly affect the indicator of general well-being: a disorder of spiritual health entails a deterioration in physical indicators and vice versa. 
Factors that form the spiritual component of human health
Not everyone can understand what a healthy lifestyle is and follow it: many, knowing the rules, nevertheless prefer to live without rules. Therefore, the first and main factor influencing spiritual health is the attitude towards a healthy lifestyle. A person tends to repeat those types of behavior that bring pleasure, so it can be quite difficult to give up certain eating habits, harmful stereotypes. Naturally, the choice in favor of a healthy lifestyle requires a high level of understanding and interest and directly depends on the individual lifestyle.
An equally important factor in choosing a lifestyle is the environment, which demonstrates different models of existence and forms stable stereotypes of behavior among individual members. The environment, as you know, directly affects individual health, its physical and spiritual essence depends on the level of motivation to follow the rules of a healthy lifestyle. 
Social health or the ability to live in society
The term refers to the ability of a person to adapt to natural and social environments. It is achieved by the ability to anticipate the occurrence of threatening and non-standard situations, assess their possible consequences, make an informed decision and act in accordance with one's capabilities. The concept of social adaptation includes the complete adaptation of a person to the conditions of the team. The physical, social and spiritual health of each member of society constitutes the general social well-being of the collective. In a healthy society, non-standard situations occur much less frequently and are, as a rule, of a natural nature.
Factors affecting social health
An important social factor is the state of the environment in which a person lives. Pollution of natural resources leads to an increase in the stress background of the body, physical disorders in the human condition, and a decrease in the emotional background. An equally important factor is the availability of quality medical care, which significantly reduces the risk of occurrence and complications in people. Against this background, the level of physical well-being, emotional stress significantly increases or decreases, the spiritual component of health suffers. Spiritual and physical health, together with social health, constitutes the individual health of the individual. At the same time, all three components are equally significant and complementary. 
Health as the main value
Understanding and awareness of health as the main value in the modern world is not given to everyone. Most often, a person brings to the fore career, material wealth, prestige in society, forgetting about health and inner harmony. Only having lost health, people begin to understand its value, but it is not easy, and sometimes impossible, to return the lost.
The modern parable of the rich man tells how a young businessman amassed a huge fortune and lived only for profit and money. One day the Angel of Death came for him and told him to get ready. The businessman asked to give him some time, because he did not have time for the main thing in life, but the Angel was inexorable. Then the young man decided to buy some time and offered a million, then two, then his entire fortune for a few days of life. It was not possible to buy life, since money has no value; a successful businessman went after the Angel without completing the main thing in his life. Individual health, its physical, spiritual and social essence are in harmony when a person correctly sets priorities and follows them. 
Is a harmoniously developed personality a guarantee of health?
Given that the three components of individual health interact and complement each other, it can be argued that internal and external harmony will be the key to human health. The individual health of a person, his physical and spiritual essence cannot be perfect without social well-being, in turn, a person with a disturbed physical or spiritual beginning cannot be socially adapted. Healthy nutrition, emotional comfort, positive mental attitude, correct prioritization are the key to a harmoniously developed personality with perfect physical, spiritual, and social health. Such a person is hard to find now. But it is in your hands to become one.
