Definition of Health?

Alot of people these days consider being Well toned or fit , and eating the right food is being healthy. The Lot of this is portrayed by the media.

Being healthy to me is being socially,mentally ,spiritually and physically balanced . What i mean is if your very fit and eat the right food and youre not mentally stable i wouldn't say you are healthy.

What do you guys think.

 

I wouldn't consider you healthy if you're socially balanced... I hardly go out, because it's just not that interesting to me anymore (no, I'm not fat).

 

Health to me is being physically fit.

 

I agree with Appeal To Reason.

My friend is skinny but when we went running he was coughing and spitting every 5 minutes. That's unhealthy.

To me being healthy is being fit.

 

You guys dont consider health to be your well-being also?

 

I personally don't, I'm not really sure why but to me being healthy has nothing to do with moods/emotions/social life ect.

 

I guess that's fair enough but that's what i mean by what is portrayed by the media. Alot of people think woah look at those abdominals!! and automatically think they must be healthy!!! or for instance a Marathon runner who is actually very malnourished .

 

Health to me is physically and mentally fit.
Stress etc can affect your health, so if you are not mentally fit/stable, then you are not healthy.

 

I think the definition of health is your body being in its optimal form in all aspects.

 

i think healthy is portraied in the media as have a 6 pack and toned all over, i think you ARE healthy if you feel comfortable with yourself and just feel good.

 

Health is a state of Physical, Social , and Emotional well being. With out all of them you are not technically "healthy." You may be physically fit but that does not me you are healthy, you get the point.

 

Having optimal Physical, Mental, and Social health. Along with not disrupting your body's natural ability of up keeping homeostasis (ie. taking care of your body, eating as much as you need and not excess).

 

I weigh 250LBS and around 5 foot 1 or something. I look 180LBS, but I actually weigh 250LBS. Also, people will look at me and see that I'm fat, but doing flashy acrobatics at my weight is pretty good, so it will catch people by surprise. So I'm guessing I'm healthy?
