They all need each other. If one point while fail then others also fail. The health triangle help us to understand that we cannot have success with one point while the other points are failing. Proper amount of rest, exercise and nutrition helps to get a good physical health. It is important that we become careful about harmful substances into our bodies, such as tobacco and other drugs that can damage our bodies prematurely. Mental health is closely related with physical health. When we are able to balance our lives, people around us are likely to be happier.

Few examples of socially healthy are you are able to make friends and keep them, resolve conflict without being overbearing or too submissive, can appreciate different points of view. Most of the people do not realize the significance of good health, and even if they do, they may still ignore it. To perform our duties well we need good health worked at home or in an office. People when talk about health, usually they refer the condition of the body. Though, health does not simply mean being free from physical pain or disease. Necessity of good health is not restricted to a particular religion. cast, creed or gender. Mind is the origin of most of the disease.

We try hard for money-oriented ends, such as lucrative income, status, a big house, an expensive car, jewelry and so on, because we think these things will make us happy. Rarely do we give attention to our mind and soul; we spend our time and resources in trying to fulfill our physical needs and desire. Finally we are still unable to achieve lasting peace and happiness through satisfaction of bodily needs.

Nutrition-learn about nutrition.

I think most of the people know about nutrition, but proper knowledge about nutrition can help you to choice right foods, especially nutritious foods. Nutrition is the science of food.The nutrients and other substances there in, their action, interaction and balance in relationship to health and diseases. The process by which the organism ingests, digests,absorbs,transports and utilizes and disposes of their end products. In addition, the nutrition must be concerned with social, economical,cultural,physiological implications of food and eating.
Now lets go, know about nutrient. Nutrient is the any chemical substance contain in food that performs one or more of the functions of food this termed as nutrient.Chemically nutrient divided into two types, these are.

Macro nutrients, which are needed by body in relatively large amount. They include- carbohydrate, protein, fat and minerals(calcium, magnesium, potassium). The three functions of macro nutrients are-
provide energy,
 promote growth and development of body tissues and
 regulate body functions.
 The main function of macro nutrients is to provide energy, counted as calories. While each of the macro nutrients provides calories, the amount provided by each varies. Carbohydrate provides four calories per gram, protein also four while fat provides nine. For example, if the Nutrition Facts label of a given food indicates 12 g of carbohydrate, 2 g of fat, and 0 g of protein per serving, the food then has 12g carbohydrate x 4 calories = 48 calories þ 2 g fat x 4 calories = 8 calories for a total of 48 þ 8 calories = 56 calories per serving).
Macro nutrients also have specific roles in maintaining the body and contribute to the taste, texture and appearance of foods, which helps to make the diet more varied and enjoyable. This is most important for regular diet. As well as maintaining a healthy life or disease free life.
Micro nutrients, which are needed by the body in relatively small amount. They include-vitamins, essential fatty acids, trace elements (chloride, phosphorus, iron, iodine, boron, copper, cobalt ). With the need of macro nutrients you need to take micro nutrients. Which is essential for maintaining a strong body, mental sharpness, fight off disease, and bear healthy children. Deficiency of micronutrients has high burden of infection and parasites. Deficiency of micronutrients also affects the health and function of individuals. The economic and social development of communities and nations can affect by this problem.
