children around you, newborns are immunized, while others are scheduled for check
ups and other health practices. Who are with them? The adults, right?

As an adolescent, your personal health now becomes your responsibility. Every

What is it?

Holistic Health

The definition of holistic is relating to the idea that things should be studied as a
whole. On the other hand, health is defined by World Health Organization (WHO), as a
state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of
disease or infirmity.

Dimensions of Health

Nowadays, health focuses on wellness. It is a positive approach that includes all

the dimensions of health: physical, mental, emotional, social and moral-spiritual. Being
healthy means having a balance of the dimensions of health. This results in attaining

4
holistic health.

1. Physical Health. It means how well your body functions. It means you can carry out
everyday tasks without becoming too tired. It also means you have enough energy to
enjoy activities and to meet emergencies.

2. Mental or Intellectual Health. A mentally healthy person is open to new ideas and
experiences that can improve personal, family, and community life.

3. Emotional Health. It refers to how well you meet the demands of daily life and how
you adjust to new situations. It also means expressing your happiness, love, joy and
hope as well as your sadness, anger, and fear in healthful productive ways.

4. Social Health. It refers to how well you get along with other people, how you react to
social situations and how you interact with various social institutions.

5. Moral-Spiritual Health. It means being at peace and in harmony with yourself, with
others and with the Creator. What you feel, think and say what you believe in or value
are shown in how you act. It refers to your personal beliefs, values, and faith.

Interrelatedness of Health Dimensions

The five dimensions of holistic health are connected. An individual is affected

physically if food and shelter are not fully satisfied. This person will also be affected
emotionally as she/he may feel inadequate, insecure, and unsafe. And how will this
affect the mental health of the person? Anxiety may develop when a person is worrying
about his/her condition. Relationship with family, friends, and with others may suffer also
when a person is not contented and his/her longing for love and affection is not met.
When the physical, mental, emotional, and social needs are not satisfied, a person may
resort to unethical behaviour to satisfy his/her basic needs.

It is very clear that each dimension affects the other. The dimensions are equally
important to attain wellness or good health. These are like puzzle pieces that need to be
fitted together for meaningful health dimensions interrelationship.

5
 We all seek a harmonious balance of all health dimensions to lead a happy and
fulfilled life. It may sound difficult to attain but developing each dimension at this stage in
your life will benefit you for a lifetime.

Congratulations! You are now ready to answer the activities on the next pages!
Good Luck!
