The best way to live a long life is to get serious ailment and take care of it.
- Sir Wm. Osler, MD

What is health?

The word health came from the Anglo-Saxon root "helthe", which means
"hale, sound, whole".

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a "state of

complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the
absence of disease or infirmity".

A person "in perfect health" my suddenly seen unhealthy if he or she is

confronted with a new job or situation that demands upon him/her not
previously encountered. One may be physically strong and able to cope
with physical hardships but he may be unhealthy as shown by his
behavior.

Signs of good health

>fast healing wounds
>clear vision and hearing
>soft, flawless skin
>shiny hair
>happy disposition
>positive outlook in life
>can handle stress well
>full of energy in all activities

Health focuses on wellness. It is a positive approach that includes all the

dimensions of health: physical, mental, emotional, social
and moral-spiritual.

Health is the well-being of your body, mind, and your relationship with
others. On the other hand, wellness means striving to live your life to
achieve your fullest potential, making decisions, and acting in healthy
ways. It is practicing positive health behaviors based on sound
knowledge and healthy attitudes. You are likely to have a high degree of
wellness if you have a balanced life. Being healthy means having a
balance of the dimensions of health. This results in attaining holistic
health.
