    i just want to highlight here... through my learning,i think that definition from WHO is the 'most accurate definition' for 'HEALTH'--

    A dynamic state of complete physical, mental, spiritual and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. (WHO'S New Proposed Definition. 101st Session of the WHO Executive Board, Geneva, January 1998. Resolution EB101.R2)
