aspira-
ganization expanded

cope
with
the

the
objective
of
living;
it
is
a
positive
concept
emphasizing
social
and
personal
resources
as
well
as physical capabilities"
2. Health promotion
is the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to
improve, their health. To reach a state of complete physical
mental and social wellbeing, an individual or group must be able
to identify and to realize aspirations, to satisfy needs, and to
change or cope with the environment. Health is, therefore, seen
as a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health
is a positive concept empha- sizing social and personal
resources, as well as physical capacities. Therefore, health
promotion is not just the responsibility of the health sector but
goes beyond healthy lifestyles to wellbeing.
