The document discusses health, illnesses, and infectious diseases. It defines health as physical, mental, and social well-being. Illnesses are caused by microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, protozoans, and fungi that can be spread through personal contact, contaminated objects, animal carriers, contaminated food or water. Infectious diseases can be prevented through healthy habits like hand washing, dental hygiene, cleaning cuts, vaccinations, and washing fruits and vegetables. Vaccines help the body build antibodies to resist diseases without risk of infection. Non-infectious diseases have other causes like allergies, obesity, or mental illness.
