For all the activities,energy and raw material are needed from outside the body.Food is necessary for cell and tissue function.

2)Public cleanliness is important for individual health(If no agency is ensuring that garbage is collected and disposed,if no one takes responsibility of clearing the drains,if there are heap of garbage and thrash littered here and there,if there is open drain water lying stagnant around,the possibility of poor health increases)
 
3)We need food for health and food will have to earn by doing work.For this, opportunity  to do work has to be available.Good economic condition and jobs are therefore needed for individual health.
