Benessere e corporeità

[Autom. eng. transl.] Over the past fifty years, many authors have tried their hand at trying to define the concept of well-being understood as feeling good about oneself themselves and with others. If we were to contextualize the approach in the bio-medical field, the the concept of well-being is usually traced back to the absence of disease and maintenance of health. An innovative but fundamental theoretical contribution in this sense was offered by the ecological approach of studies on the person and well-being, who have proposed a new way of conceptualizing the relationship between the individual and the environment. From this perspective, health is seen as the product of the interdependence between the individual and subsystems of the ecosystem which, however promoting health must provide the economic and social conditions that they induce healthy lifestyles and the necessary information to enable acquisition of the skills necessary for individuals to implement these behaviors. In this sense, the educational process should be addressed to induce voluntary actions that people can carry out independently or collectively. The educational messages today are no more focused on single actions, but on real lasting lifestyles
