What is Health?
We must have the same definition of our goal in order to effectively attain the goal, especially if we are to reach it together. So, in this setting, we must have a clear underatanding what health is. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is defined as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."(1948) Merriam-Webster defines health as "the condition of being sound in body, mind, or spirit; especially: freedom from physical disease or pain."(1998) BuisinessDictionary.com states that "health is a dynamic condition resulting from a body's constant adjustment and adaptation in response to stresses and changes in the environment for maintaining an inner equilibrium called homeostasis."(2010) These definitions exhibit a progression in thinking, which is requesite to improving the current national and global state of affairs.
And our working definition is this: Health is expression of life.
Our expression of life exists on a continuum, at any point in time, and is relative to our optimal potential. One's level of health is directly proportional to the degree of balance and congruence present in life. Therefore, in order to attain optimal health, we must strive to attain balance and congruence in all areas of our lives. This is the goal.
