What is health?

Health is not merely the absence of illness. True health involves painless sound bodily movements, efficiently working vital organs, and mental faculties operating at full throttle. This is rarely experienced by humans today. The people we meet could be divided into four groups:

*People who are definitely sick.
*People who are almost sick.
*People who think they are healthy.
*People who are experiencing a high level of health.

Most find themselves in one of the first three groups. Rising to the fourth group requires seeking knowledge, personally taking charge of your own health, and making wise choices. Good health cannot be produced by unhealthy living practices. One thing is for sure, we cannot drug ourselves into health. If this were so, we would be a healthy nation by now.
