What Does Healthy Mean?
Good health is not defined as the absence of disease. It is a state of well being that requires active participation on your part. There are several components to good health:
Physical Health
Mental Health
Spiritual Health
Physical Health or physical well being is the one you likely think about most. Do you have enough energy to do the tasks set before you? Do you get enough rest? Do you eat the right kinds of foods? Do you feel well? Do you feel fit?
The second component is Mental Health. Are you under stress? Do you enjoy life? Are you happy with who you are?
The third component of healthiness is Spiritual Health. Whatever your religious beliefs are, do you feel connected to them? Do you feel at peace? Do you feel you belong to something larger than yourself?
