Traditional definitions of physical health prior to the onset of modern medicine would have considered someone physically healthy if he or she was not stricken with a serious illness. With modern medical innovations came longer life spans, which changed the way we define physical health. Today's definition can consider everything ranging from the absence of disease to fitness level.

While physical health consists of many components, here is a brief list of the key areas that should be addressed:

• Physical activity - includes strength, flexibility, and endurance

• Nutrition and diet - includes nutrient intake, fluid intake, and healthy digestion

• Alcohol and drugs - includes the abstinence from or reduced consumption of these substances

• Medical self-care - includes addressing minor ailments or injuries and seeking emergency care as necessary

• Rest and sleep - includes periodic rest and relaxation, along with high quality sleep
