	Physical fitness refers to good [[human body\|body]] health. It is dependent on genetic determinators and also on social, economic and ecological factors. That means, one's genes are partly responsible for one's physical health, but also other circumstances: where you live, how clean or polluted your water and the air around you is and also how good your social and medical system is. It is also the result of regular [[exercise]], proper [[diet]] and [[nutrition]], and proper rest for physical [[wikt:recovery\|recovery]]. A person who is physically fit will be able to walk or run without getting breathless and they will be able to carry out the activities of everyday living and not need help. How much each person can do will depend on their age and whether they are a man or woman. A physically fit person usually has a normal weight for their height. The relation between their height and weight is called their [[Body Mass Index]]. A taller person can be heavier and still be fit. If a person is too heavy or too thin for their height it may affect their health.<ref>Centers For disease Control and Prevention https://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/effects/index.html</ref>Better '''health''' is central to human happiness and well-being.
