Optimal health is defined as a balance of physical, emotional, social, spiritual, occupational and intellectual health. Optimal health can be achieved by making lifestyle changes. These changes can be facilitated through a combination of efforts that encourages people to develop healthy habits, while discouraging those habits that may lead to illness, disability or premature death.
