Health and behavior
The relationship between Health and behavior is cyclical, with one influencing the other and leading to positive or negative outcomes. It is critical to address behaviors that negatively impact Health, such as smoking or excessive alcohol consumption, to improve health outcomes and reduce health disparities for at-risk populations.
Indeed, Health and behavior are closely linked, influencing each other. Indeed, Behaviors such as physical activity, diet habits, and substance use can either improve or harm one’s Health. In turn, a person’s health status can affect their behavior towards seeking medical care and adhering to medical advice; of course, functional Health is influenced positively or negatively directly by social circumstances, obviously affected directly by the environment; one example is air pollution.
So many social determinants of Health, such as income, education, employment, and social support, can also significantly impact health-related behaviors. For example, individuals who lack access to healthy food options or safe areas to exercise may have riskier health behaviors. Similarly, those who face discrimination or chronic stressors due to social inequalities may be more likely to behaviors such as smoking or drug use.
By taking a comprehensive approach and addressing the social determinants of Health that contribute to risky behaviors, we can promote healthy behavior changes and improve overall health outcomes for individuals and communities.

wellness in health and medical
Wellness is the act of practicing healthy habits on a daily basis to attain better physical and mental health outcomes, so that instead of just surviving, you’re thriving.
To understand the significance of wellness, it’s important to understand how it’s linked to health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is defined as being “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
Several key areas of your lifestyle are considered dimensions of overall Wellness. They include: social connectedness, exercise, nutrition, sleep and mindfulness. Each one has an impact on your physical and mental health. By making simple and healthy choices on a daily basis, you will be well on your way towards reducing stress, having positive social interactions and achieving optimal wellness.
Start with small changes within each dimension and take it one day at a time – you don’t have to run a marathon or go on a restrictive diet to implement wellness into your everyday life! We’ve listed a few examples for each dimension:
