What is health? What is meaning …

WHO (World Health Organisation) focuses on Biological, Psychological, and Social aspects of health. It covers Physical, Mental, Spiritual aspects.

1. Health and illness are a matter of degree.
2. One may be suffering from a physically disabling disease but may be quite healthy otherwise, e.g., Baba Amte and Stephan Hawkins who suffer from crippling diseases but have made great contributions in their field.
3. People differ across cultures in their thinking about when and how people fall ill and therefore in the models which they use in the prevention of diseases and promotion of health, e.g., Chinese, Indian, Latin hold good health results from the harmonious balance of various elements in the body.

Western Cultures view health as a result of a fully functioning machine that has no blockage.
The different systems of medicine developed in different cultures are based on various models.
WHO report says Asia, Africa, Latin America, and other developing countries people die due to communicable diseases, e.g., HIV/AIDS and TB; whereas people belonging to developed countries like the US and UK people suffer more from cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and psychiatric disorders.
