Definition. To be brief, optimal health is an individual person's physical, emotional and mental health abilities. That is, it is the health goals that a person can realistically achieve to feel their personal best. No two people's health goals are the same, that's why optimal health is such an individualized matter. One person might focus on physical health while to another healing emotional wounds is a more pressing matter. It really just depends on what is important to you.
Holistic Health is a form of alternative health care that is shared by many believers. Alternative health therapies are those that are practiced outside the realm of modern scientific belief therapies. The word holistic stems from the Greek work holos that means all or total. So one could say that holistic health is whole health. The general concept was derived from Aristotle when he theorized that âthe whole is more than the sum of its partsâ.
