Designing a healthy lifestyle at any stage of pre/post pregnancy can be overwhelming. Let’s explore the meaning of health:

“Health is the level of functional and (or) metabolic efficiency of a living being. In humans, it is the general condition of a person in mind, body and spirit, usually meaning to being free from illness, injury or pain (as in “good health” or “healthy”).

 The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in 1946 as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”

 The maintenance and promotion of health is achieved through different combinations of physical, mental, and social well-being, together sometimes referred to as the “health triangle”.
