A "sloppy word"
Sloppy words are words that seem noble, but are empty, and do not convey any useful information - people tend to be sloppy with these words, to others, and to themselves.
"Health" is one of the representatives. "So-and-so is healthy", you change this "so-and-so" to any kind of ingredients, this sentence is reasonable; Change to any kind of life behavior (whether it is sun, handstand or sleep in), can also be recognized by people; In the case of any young person without a serious illness, there would probably be no objection.
However, everyone is only "approved". "So-and-so is healthy", does this matter have anything to do with themselves? In any case, "it's healthy to be anything but." In that case, isn't it good? Everybody's good.
Such a great word seems to be all-encompassing: any diet advice can be branded, any lifestyle can be justified under its fog; Even any health problems can be used as a shield. Under this sloppy word, we are constantly escaping and self-anesthetizing: health? It's good.
Your health? Everybody understands
Isn't that just health? I am "fine" now, so I am healthier; The man often has to take medicine, which makes him unhealthy. To a person with diabetes or Alzheimer's, you might say, "How healthy he was years ago." (No, he was never healthy.) A person with rheumatoid arthritis might as well say, "Except that my joints don't get cold, I'm pretty healthy." (No, he's not healthy overall.)
Health, then, is the "absence of problems" in the body.
Behind this awareness, we are actually treating our body as a machine. The machine has two states, "No problem, working" and "problem, not working". I can also sit down and eat and drink every day, so my body is "functioning well." When there is a problem, as long as the problem is "solved" (just like repairing a machine), everything can run normally again. Good and bad, just the difference in operation, as a machine, its basic structure is always the same.
Health is a process
No, the human body is not a machine, but a being that is always adapting, adjusting and changing. In the case of the right supply in all aspects, it will not only have a good performance, but also will continue to optimize itself, so as to perform better and better; In the event of "improper input," it will invoke various mechanisms to buffer, lower the "gear" to keep more basic functions functioning, and thus (out of necessity) perform worse and worse.
So how we live affects and changes our bodies and the bodies of our children at the deepest level.
Health is not a "no problem" state, but a process of "getting better and better." If you are not healthy, you will become more and more unhealthy - and illness is just an accident in this process. (It is likely that a healthy person is healthier when he is "unhealthy" than an unhealthy person is when he is "healthy.") Health is not a state in which you can always return from "unhealthy" : you may think that you have only slightly deviated from "healthy" and that you can return (by any means) at any time, no, you have gone further and further, you have lost your way.
Health is the process by which the body gets what it really needs, so that it becomes better and better, and can be good to the next generation. Unhealthy, quite the opposite.
