Health is the state and management of physical, mental, functional and genomic health including life expectancy. Health are realities that can impact people, communities (industries, organizations, locations or groups) and other realities.
Health is not about being able to compete in the Olympics, it is being healthy enough to achieve basic needs (food, clothing, housing) and and desired level of Purpose and Meaning (spending time with grandchildren), Love and Connection and Competence and Control.
