Role of Leisure Acts and Mental Health

According to the World Health Organization health is a state of complete mental, physical, and social wellbeing or we can say the absence of disease. It is the situation to which an individual or group is able, on the one hand, to realize aspirations and satisfy needs and, on the other hand to change or cope with the environment.” (Health Promotion Glossary, p. 1).
Health and Welfare Canada in 1986, mentioned that health must be viewed in terms of resource which gives ability to manage and change our surroundings. (Achieving Health for All, p. 3). Health is something not only experienced individually, but also collectively. In other words, health shows importance, more on the nature of their interaction with the wider environment. “Environment” here includes not only our physical surroundings, but also the social, cultural, regulatory and economic conditions and influences that impinge on our everyday lives.
Through this theoretical paper I am presenting a view that healthy and constructive leisure acts perform an important role in maintaining mental health. Mental health and leisure acts related with each other; we can’t achieve mental health without doing leisure acts.
