HEALTHY
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.
Achieving and maintaining health is an ongoing process, shaped by both the evolution of health care knowledge and practices, as well as personal strategies and organized interventions for staying healthy. (www.wikipedia.com)
