HEALTH
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” (1948 by WHO)
“A resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities.”(1986 by WHO)
This means that health is a resource to support an individual’s function in wider society, rather than an end in itself. A healthful lifestyle provides the means to lead a full life with meaning and purpose.
