INTRODUCTION

A. Background

In human life, having a health where a person feels good physically and mentally, more
precisely, is healthy, which is a condition that is free from various types of diseases, both
physically, mentally, and socially. The concept of Health is a normal condition in accordance
with accepted standards based on certain criteria, according to gender and the surrounding
community.

Most people say healthy is expensive, but is it true about that fact? in the opinion of the
World Health Sciences (WHO), healthy is expensive, because we have to eat foods that are full
of nutrients, rich in protein, iron, and others.

The term healthy in everyday life is often used to express that something can work
normally. Even inanimate objects such as motorized vehicles or machines, if they can function
normally, the owner is often said to be in good health. Most people say healthy if the body feels
fresh and comfortable. Even a doctor will declare his patient healthy when according to the
results of the examination he finds that the patient's entire body is functioning normally.

DISCUSSION

1. Healthy Concept

A. Definition of Healthy

Health is a condition that is not only free from disease but also covers all aspects of
human life which includes physical, emotional, social and spiritual aspects.

Healthy according to WHO (1927) Health is a state of complete physical, physical,

mental and social well-being and not just a state free from disease and infirmity. Contains 3
characteristics:

- Reflects concern for the individual as a human

- Looking healthy in the context of the internal and external environment.

Healthy is defined as a creative and productive life.

B. Sick Healthy Range

A person's health status lies between two poles, namely optimal health and death. If our health
status moves towards death then we are in the sick area (Illness area), and if our health status
moves towards health then we are in a healthy area (Wllness area). So, health status is always
dynamic and changes all the time.

C. Health Status
Health status is a condition of a person's health in the range of health-illness which is dynamic
and influenced by development, socio-culture, past experiences, one's expectations about
himself, heredity, environment, and services.

D. Factors Affecting Individual Health

What is meant by factors that influence health status are factors that influence either supportive
or hindering health-illness conditions. There are several factors that affect individual health,
namely:

1. Environmental factors

The influence of the environment on health is enormous. This is because the factors that cause
disease are influenced by the environment. Thus the importance and magnitude of the influence
of the environment on health.

2. Socio-Cultural Factors

Socio-cultural factors are the second factor with a large enough influence on health. Included in
these factors are:

- Behavior, habits, and customs

- Beliefs, outlook on life, and values

- Socio-economic, standard of living and income

- Demographics, population density

- Education

3. Health facilities

Included in this factor are:

 - Location, place of service near or accessible and known by the public or not

- Business information and motivation

- Program: does it cover all public health needs or not.

4. Descendants

Included in this factor are:

- Genetics

- Body structure

The four factors above can support or hinder health, so that it can facilitate or complicate the
onset of health and illness, and also these factors influence each other.

2. Health and Culture

A. Understanding health and culture

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not simply the
absence of disease or infirmity.
Culture or culture comes from the Sanskrit language, namely buddhayah, which is the
plural form of buddhi (mind or reason) which is defined as matters relating to human mind and
reason. In English, culture is called culture, which comes from the Latin word Colere, which
means to cultivate or work. It can also be interpreted as cultivating land or farming. The word
culture is also sometimes translated as "culture" in Indonesian.

Also from culture, a healthy life can be traced through the understanding components of
health, illness, suffering from illness, disability and death, values that are implemented and
believed and believed in, in accordance with the understanding of the community in accordance
with the culture and technology that the community has.

B. The influence of culture on health

As an example of the influence of culture on health problems is the use of turmeric and "tude
bombang" as a medicine to cure jaundice (hepatitis) among the people of Indonesia.

3. Traditional health care practices

A. Understanding

Traditional health services are treatment and/or treatment with methods and drugs that refer to
empirically hereditary experiences and skills that can be accounted for and applied in accordance
with prevailing norms in society. (Law NO.36/2009 ON HEALTH)

B. Method of Treatment/Treatment

Use:
o skills (manual techniques, energy therapy and thought therapy)
o potion
o the combination of ingredients and skills is an integral part of the traditional health science
system.
 CHAPTER III
CLOSING

CONCLUSION

a. In general, health is a state that is not only free from disease but includes all aspects of
human life. Health is also influenced by several factors.

b. Culture is all knowledge possessed by humans which is poured in the form of emotions,
civilizations, artifacts, languages, etc. based on empirical experience
Culture has a relationship with health in terms of prevention and treatment of disease, although
in practice it is still influenced by traditional mystical beliefs.

c. Traditional health service efforts are health services that indirectly play a role in supporting the
achievement of the Strategic Plan indicators of the Ministry of Health through the use of
traditional health services for ingredients and skills in the growth and development of toddlers,
health for pregnant and postpartum women, as well as the use of massage for body freshness.
