The absence of disease is not health.
Health is the state about which medicine has nothing to say.
But too often the goal of the planners is a universal gray state of health corresponding to absence of disease rather than to a positive attribute conducive to joyful and creative living. This kind of health will not rule out and may even generate another form of ill, the boredom which is the penalty of a formula of life where nothing is left unforeseen.
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
I thought that because I wasn't a sickly person - I never have been - I thought I was healthy. So I assumed health. I didn't have it.
Health is not a condition of matter, but of Mind; nor can the material senses bear reliable testimony on the subject of health.
Clearly, health and disease cannot be defined merely in terms of anatomical, physiological, or mental attributes. Their real measure is the ability of the individual to function in a manner acceptable to himself and to the group of which he is a part.
As a whole part of "psychological education" it needs to be remembered that a neurosis can be valuable; also that "adjustment" to a sick and insane environment is of itself not "health" but sickness and insanity.
What does it mean to be healthy? You may think that being healthy means that you are not sick, but being healthy is far more than that. If you feel okay, or average, or nothing much at all, you are not healthy.
Health is relative. There is no such thing as an absolute state of health or sickness. Everyone's physical, mental, and emotional condition is a combination of both.

I am all about health... and to me, size is not what defines your health.
We're always sick and we just don't know it. What we mean by health is only when our constant physical deterioration is undetectable.
I am technically healthy but my body is no more valid than someone's who isn't.
