Health is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of a living being. In humans, it is the general condition of a person's mind, body and spirit, usually meaning to be free from illness, injury or pain (as in “good health” or “healthy”). The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in 1946 as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." Although this definition has been subject to controversy, in particular as having a lack of operational value and the problem created by use of the word "complete", it remains the most enduring. Classification systems such as the WHO Family of International Classifications, including the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), are commonly used to define and measure the components of health. The maintenance and promotion of health is achieved through different...

Quotations About This Subject: Our health always seems much more valuable after we lose it.  You can set yourself up to be sick, or you can choose to stay well.  Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.  The vitamin has been reified. A chemical intangible originally defined as a unit of nutritive value, it was long ago reified into a pill. Now it is a pill; no one except a few precise scientists define it as anything else. Once the vitamin became a pill, it became real according to the precepts of American Cartesianism: I swallow it, therefore it is.; The way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not.; The preservation of health is a duty. Few seem conscious that there is such a thing as physical morality.; The health of the people is really the foundation upon which all their happiness and all their powers as a state depend.; To lengthen thy Life, lessen thy meals.  A bodily disease which we look upon as whole and entire within itself, may, after all, be but a symptom of some ailment in the spiritual part.; The winners in life treat their body as if it were a magnificent spacecraft that gives them the finest transportation and endurance for their lives.;
