Introduction
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is a complete physical, social, and
mental well-being and not just the absence of infirmities and diseases (World Health
Organization, 2019). It can be defined as the capacity of the human body to face new illnesses
and treats. There are basically two kinds of health, physical and mental health (Kale and Carroll,
2016). Physical health is that condition of the human body which is being free from any injury or
illness. It covers wide-ranging areas such as healthy nutrition, personal hygiene, healthy weight,
sleep, and dental health. It is significant for the complete well-being of the human body. Mental
health is the emotional, psychological, and social state of an individual. It is as vital as physical
health for leading an active lifestyle. Both are interconnected with one another since if a chronic
disease affects the capability of the individual to finish their regular works, it might lead to stress
and depression.
Health promotion is a method which allows the people for increasing control and improving their
health (Crawford et al., 2019). It covers comprehensive environmental and social interventions
which are designed for protecting the health as well as the quality of life of the individuals by not
only concentrating on care and treatment but also by addressing and stopping the leading causes
of the illness. Health promotion is significant as it helps to enhance the health status of the
persons, families, societies, states, and the country (Sharda, Daniel and White, 2019). It also
improves the quality of life for every individual and decreases the possibilities of premature
deaths.
The essay will consider a case scenario, which is about Mr. Mo Hong and his health-related
behaviors. It will analyze the effects of poor diet, weight, and lifestyle, lack of exercise, alcohol,
and smoking on the health of Mr. Hong as evidenced from literature. It will also evaluate the
needs assessment on which the health promotion work will be based along with the consistent
level of health promotion work for Mr. Hong. It will identify one SMART aim and two SMART
objectives for Mr. Hong as part of a health promotion program. Five approaches will be
discussed, and one useful approach will be selected for Mr. Hong. It will also suggest some
health promotion activities which will be utilized with the chosen approach. It will choose one
model and recommend some health promotion activities will be included with the model.
