Feedback:
The WHO definition of health is defined as ―a state of complete physical,
r r r r r r r r r r r r



mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and
r r r r r r r r r r r r



infirmity.‖ Engaging in book reviews facilitates mental and social well-
r r r r r r r r r r



being; chair aerobics helps facilitate physical well-being; and assisting with
r r r r r r r r r



tight control of diabetes helps with facilitating physical well-being even
r r r r r r r r r r



though the person has a chronic disease. Handwashing is vital in the prevention of
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r



disease and spread of germs.
