Question

Please summarize your understanding of Health Triangle.

Answer 1

The health triangle refers to a measure of the different health aspects. The health triangle is a combination of mental/emotional, physical, and social/spiritual well-being. The three sides of the health are connected, like the sides of a triangle; and each side of the triangle is equally vital to good health. Since the three triangle elements are interconnected thus the balanced needs to be maintained to achieve true health. If one side of the triangle is emphasized too much--or not enough--the other sides will also be affected. It will cause an imbalance. Teachers of the triangle emphasize taking responsibility for their health by practicing prevention, like wearing seat belts, and by actively enhancing personal health by incorporating healthy habits such as adequate diet and eliminating risk factors for poor health, like smoking
