Basically behavior is an activity of living things to achieve a goal. Behavior is a response or reaction to someone who arises due to a stimulus (stimulation from outside). The behavior occurs because of an organism's stimulus, and then the organism responds. This is in accordance with the theory put forward by Skinner, namely the "SOR" or Stimulus-Organism-Response theory. In connection with the existence of Skinner's theory, health behavior is one's response to stimuli or objects related to health and illness, disease, and the factors that influence healthy and sick (health) such as environment, food, drinks, and health services.
