Health is a
state of physical, mental and social well-being, not merely an absence of
diseases or infirmity. Really speaking,
health is not a state but a continuous adjustment to the changing demands of
life and the environment. Positive
health implies perfect functioning of body and mind in a given society.
All the
ancients believed that no attempt should be made to cure the body without
treating the soul. To be healthy is to
have the ability, despite an occasional bout of illness, to live with full use
of your faculties and to be vigorous, alert and happy to be alive, even in old
age. This concept of operational health
has been termed ‘wellness’. It is a
sense of all-round well-being.
