What is health?

First things first....the definition.....What is health?

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity (WHO).

The basic idea is that health is not just the absence of health, it is something more than that. It is something positive, some thing to achieve, something to go for.

Some even go to the extent of adding spiritual well-being also to the definition of health.

Lord Buddha has stated that health is the gretest wealth that a person could have (Arogya parama labha). Undoubtedly, healthy person can take up the challenges of life better.
