That sums it up pretty well, right? We talk, think, read, see a lot. But really do, come into the implementation, we do very little. But that need not be. We can do something about it. You can do something about it. You can do something for yourself and your health. That's exactly what I want to - if we want from perspective health - support you.



Let's start with an important question: What is health? Because without having an exact idea of ​​what we are actually talking about, it does not make much sense to talk.

Otherwise, it's as if two people are talking about a television series without telling each other what they are talking about. With luck, both persons will talk about the same series. More likely, however, that both talk about a different series. The fact that this can quickly lead to misunderstandings is probably obvious.



Definitions of health


Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not just the absence of illness or ailments.



Health is a positive overall functional condition in the sense of a dynamic biopsychological state of equilibrium, which must be maintained or restored over and over again.



Accordingly, health is composed of physical, mental and social parts that influence each other. Health is closely linked to individual and collective values, which are reflected in personal lifestyle. It is a state of balance that must always be re-established at every biographical point in time.

It is not a passively experienced state of well-being, as suggested by the purely physical fixation of the term in classical medicine, but rather a current result of the active production and preservation of a person's social, mental and physical capacity for action. Social, economic, ecological and cultural living conditions form the framework for the development possibilities of health.



After all, health is not at all a feeling of being, but is being-being, being-in-the-world, being-with-people, being active or joyfully fulfilling one's own tasks in life



Health is "not a concept but an attitude, not a condition, but a habit


Depending on the approach, there are completely different definitions and views. It is absolutely not trivial to define health. The question "What is health" is not so easy to find an answer. That the term is so abstract makes it and in everyday life certainly not easier. I would also like to bring in a perspective:



No matter what health may be, it is the foundation of our well-being and coping with our daily lives. At the same time, we should not consider them as the goal of our lives.
