The Triangle Of Health

• Health is a combination of physical, mental, and
  social well-being. It might help you to think of
  health as a triangle. One side of the triangle is
  your physical health- the condition of your body.
  The second side represents your mental/emotional
  health- your thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
  The third side of the triangle is your social
  health- the way you relate to others.
