What is Health?

There are many definitions of health just as the definition of the World Health Organisation (WHO) which is:

“Health is the ability to adapt and manage physical, mental and social challenges throughout life. Health is a state of of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. “

Another definition by Google is:

“The state of being free from illness or injury.“

Then there is the medical model that defined for the most part health and illness in North America throughout the 20th century. It viewed the human body as machine to be fixed when broken. One person could only be 'ill' or 'healthy' nothing in between. The advantage of this model is that disease represents a crucial issue facing society and disease are readily diagnosed and counted. On the other hand, people with disabilities would also be imploed to be 'ill''. It is more about physical diseases than also the well being of our minds.

What are your thoughts? How would you define “Health“?
