"The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly." - Buddha

Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not just the absence of disease or infirmity. - World Health Organization. 

That was a short definition.  Here's a longer, more thoughtful definition of health.

Health is a unity and harmony within the mind, body and spirit which is unique to each person, and is as defined by that person. The level of wellness or health is, in part, determined by the ability to deal with and defend against stress. Health is on a continuum with movements between a state of optimum well-being and illness which is defined as degrees of disharmony. It is determined by physiological, psychological, socio-cultural, spiritual, and developmental stage variables.

We seek and pursue good health in everything we do.   We must.  We are living longer. When you live longer but don't have a healthy lifestyle, disease finds you.  The World Health Organization says "nearly 400 million people will die from heart disease, diabetes and other chronic ailments over the next 10 years, but many of those deaths can be prevented by healthier lifestyles and inexpensive medication."

Inexpensive Medication.  Schedule a complete medical check-up as often as your doctor recommends.  If your doctor prescribes medication, take it as often as they prescribe it.  If you are on a fixed income, or don't have insurance, tell that to your doctor.  Often there are less expensive generic versions of these medications that can be substituted.  Your doctor will work with you to help you with choices that are right for you.

Healthier Lifestyles.  Eat properly for good health. Eat a well balanced, healthy diet and make that part of your lifestyle.  Often, we pursue a new diet and try it only for a short time.  Maybe we achieve our weight loss, or lower our cholesterol levels, but as soon as that goal is reached, we go back to our original diet and in a very short time we are right back where we started.  A diet change needs to become a total and complete part of your lifestyle always.

Be mindful that health is a harmony with your mind, body and spirit.  Day-to-day tensions at work or at home can create discomfort and even elevate blood pressure. Be sure to leave some time in your day that's just for you.  Read a book, enjoy something you care about every day.  Laugh often, love someone or some thing. You'll be happier and healthier for it.

Vitamin Supplements for Good Health.  Vitamins are needed for good health and are present in natural foods, sometimes produced within the body or are available as vitamin supplements. Our diets typically fall short in giving us the amounts of vitamins needed by our body every day.
