Health is the level of functional or, metabolic efficiency of a living being

In humans, it is the general condition of a person’s mind and body, usually meaning to be free from illness, injury, or pain such as in “good health” or “healthy”.

Can You Define Health or Does The US Government Do It for You?

In 1946 the World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being” and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

So let’s compare and define today’s reality of health: opinions and systematic activities to prevent or cure health problems and promote good health in humans are undertaken by health care providers in other words your public healthcare system.

The US government promotes http://www.health.gov/ and is coordinated by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, Office of the Secretary, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The US Government summarizes health in these main topics:

  • Health Communication.
  • Health Literacy.
  • e-Health.
  • Physical Activity Guidelines.
  • Dietary Guidelines.
  • Healthy People.

Healthy People 2020 provides a comprehensive set of 10-year, national goals, and objectives for improving the health of all Americans. http://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/default.aspx
