What is Health?

What is Health? That is a trillion-dollar question.

No, seriously. In 2017, in the US, we spent $3.5 Trillion (or $3,500,000,000 if you like to see all the zeroes. That averages about $10,000 PER person!) and the amount we spend is projected to increase 5.5% a year between now and 2027 when it is estimated that costs will exceed $6 Trillion.

The state of our nation’s health is VERY unhealthy.

So that brings us back to the initial question.

What is Health?

It is easy to see what unhealthy is, we are surrounded by it. It is much

more difficult to define health.

Some define health as the absence of symptoms.

Some define health as falling within “the normal range” on the test of choice.

Some define health as feeling good.

What I would like to know is: how do you define Health?

Is it based more on feeling or function? There are no wrong answers.

I’ll give you my answer very soon.

Till then, be healthy my friends,
