Health

स्वास्थ्य

What does it mean for the body to be healthy and well used?

Core answer

A proposal to examine

Health is the body's state of orderly functioning under conditions of nourishment, protection and disciplined use. Because the body is the instrument of the self, neglect and indulgence both reduce the capacity for participation. A healthy life therefore combines bodily care with a clear conscious direction for how that health will be used.

Reflection

Consider whether one health habit is serving the body, an image, or a passing sensation.
