Embrace Health in Eternity
Who is Healthy?
The word “health or healthy” is used differently by different people. When someone says, “I am worried about her health considering her hectic life style and back to back travel”, possibly he is talking about her physical health. When someone says, “he is taking so much of stress in the office, I am afraid it would affect his health”, he might be talking about the person’s mental health. In both the contexts, health does not refer to any particular medical condition, but talks about an overall goodness.
“Health” has been derived from an old English word “Hale” which means “wholeness, being whole, sound, or well.” However, in our day to day context, we mostly correlate this word with diseases or illness. If a person is having an ailment, he is not healthy. If he has no diseases, then he is healthy. In fact, health is a big word that encompasses a number of factors, and not only the diseases.

Who is Healthy?
The question is to the point and needs exact answer. So, here we go defining a healthy person who has all the following attributes.
Emotional balance: A healthy person can tap his emotions well and display only what is needed. He can very well control his fear, anger, love, guilt, worries, or passion which is also a sign of his good mental health and strength. In person or in public, such emotionally balanced people behave adequately and maintain a good health throughout their life.
Mental stability: It is a reflection of your mental health. Your mental stability or stability of your thought shows that your brain generating millions of signal per day is working at a normal pace. A slight deflection in your mental status can adversely affect a number of systems in your body leading to diseases.
Freedom from medical ailments: You are healthy if you don’t have any disease, ailment, illness, or acute or chronic medical condition; all your organs, body systems, and body parts are functioning normally. A slight disorder anywhere can bring your health in trouble.
Social involvement: The level of your social involvement shows your behavioral health. Though, it is also a part of mental health, it can be considered a separate factor as it highlights your overall well-being significantly. A person with any mental disorder or temporary stress or depression would avoid getting along with people in the society. So a healthy person willingly gets involved socially and enjoys every aspect of life.
Genetically correct: Many a times, a person does not come to know that he is suffering from a genetic disorder. His physical and mental condition does not show any sign or symptom. Still, to consider someone healthy, he or she should not have any genetic disorder.
Well and fit: You don’t have any disease, but you cannot run for a few minutes, you look bulky due to sagging belly, your skin has no luster, and you have no interest in eating. Such condition show problem with your wellness though you are not diagnosed with any disease. In such condition, you do not need any medication, but at the same time you cannot be called healthy and you definitely need some health tips.
So, considering all the factors above, we can now conclude that JUST THE ABSENCE OF DISEASE DOES NOT MAKE ANYONE HEALTHY. It is much more that caters to the physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing of a person. To embrace health in eternity, awaken your mind, body, and soul together and feel the blessing of life. Be Healthy - Be Happy.
