Growing Holistically Healthy
What I Need to know
Way back as a child, did you remember of thinking so much about your health? I bet you

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 day you make health decisions,

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 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.
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!
