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

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

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

a chronic disease. Handwashing is vital in the prevention of disease and

spread of germs.
