Dorland’s Medical Dictionary defines health as: “Not merely the absence of pain and disease, but the optimal state of well-being of the human body.”
This begs the questions of 1. what is the definition of “well-being” 2. What is the definition of “optimal state”? 3. Why does the medical dictionary limit health to only the human body? / Why does this definition not include the human mind and/or spirit?
