Answer to Question 1

Community nutrition is one piece of public health that focuses on the improvement of health, nutrition, and well-being of individuals within communities. Public health can be defined as an effort organized by society to protect, promote, and restore the people's health through the application of science, practical skills, and collective actions.

Answer to Question 2

Health can be viewed as the absence of disease and pain, or it can be pictured as a continuum along which the total living experience can be placed. On this continuum, the presence of disease, impairment, or disability is placed at one end and freedom from disease or injury at the other. Many times, we define health simply as feeling good, when in essence, health is inclusive of the physical, mental, and spiritual capacity to live, work, and interact joyfully with other human beings. While knowledge of health is great, we need to take that knowledge and use it in making behavior changes.
