Taking Charge of Your Health

"The 'preventive lifestyle culture' places a certain responsibility on the individual for his or her life and health. No longer do we consider health as simply an absence of disease, or living longer. Vitality, optimal health, and wellness have very similar meanings. One of the best-known definitions of health comes from The World Health Organization: 'Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.'"
