Human health and diseases can be affected by many internal and external factors. Maintaining good health requires balancing various bodily humors or systems according to ancient theories. Modern biology recognizes that the mind, nervous system, endocrine system and immune system interact to maintain health. When the functioning of one or more body systems is impaired, causing signs and symptoms, it means a person has a disease. Common infectious diseases that can be transmitted between people include typhoid, pneumonia, and malaria. Non-infectious diseases like cancer are also major causes of death. To stay healthy, it is important to practice good hygiene, nutrition, and exercise regularly.
