physical health
State of body
Physical health is the condition of the body and its systems—how well organs function, how effectively the body fights disease, and how capably it performs physical tasks.
It encompasses fitness, nutrition, sleep, and absence of illness or injury.
Regular exercise improves physical health.
Often contrasted with mental health, though the two are deeply interconnected.
