HEALTH....

What is the actual meaning of health or being or being healthy?..

• It can mean not being sick or not having disease
• It can mean being well (instead of just not sick)
• It can talk about a person's physical state. This does not mean that the person does not have disease. A person's health can be good (no disease) or bad (many diseases.)

The World Health Organization (acronym WHO) says health is: "A dynamic state of complete physical, mental, spiritual and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This is not a simple sentence, but this is important to understand. This is what it means in Simple English:

• A dynamic state means that a person is always changing.
• complete means having all of something.
• physical is about the body.
• mental is about how we think and feel.
• spiritual talks about our spirit or soul. It concerns religious parts of people but not only that: the spiritual aspect of a person can be understood as that which desires peace, hope, security and connectedness to the universe.
• social talks about how we live with other people. It is about our family, work, school, and friends.

Health in Details

Health is the level of functional and/or metabolic efficiency of an organism at both the micro(cellular) and macro(social) level. In the medical field, health is commonly defined as an organism's ability to efficiently respond to challenges (stressors) and effectively restore and sustain a "state of balance," known as homeostasis.

Another widely accepted definition of health is that of the World Health Organization (WHO), which states that "health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". In more recent years, this statement has been modified to include the ability to lead a "socially and economically productive life." The WHO definition is not without criticism, as some argue that health cannot be defined as a state at all, but must be seen as a process of continuous adjustment to the changing demands of living and of the changing meanings we give to life. The WHO definition is therefore considered by many as an idealistic goal rather than a realistic proposition.

Comment:

In simple words, I can conclude the meaning of health define by WHO by having everything we need to be happy. It is not having disease. It is having good food and water. It is having good family and friends. It is having a good spirit. It is having love. It is having a safe place to live. It is learning. It is growing. It is different things for different people. It changes in time for the same person.
