Health is a state of physical, mental and social well-being in which disease and infirmity are absent.

Well-being, wellbeing, or wellness is the condition of an individual or group. A higher level of well-being means that in some sense the individual’s or group’s condition is more positive.

According to Naci and Ioannidis, “Wellness refers to diverse and interconnected dimensions of physical, mental, and social well-being that extend beyond the traditional definition of health. It includes choices and activities aimed at achieving physical vitality, mental alacrity, social satisfaction, a sense of accomplishment, and personal fulfillment.”
