Definition of Health:
The World Health Organization definition of health has been used, unchanged, since 1948:
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
I like that that they added "social well-being". How important is that? I had never really thought about that but it is so true. If you aren't getting along with your neighbors, friends, family and relatives; maybe there is a problem that needs to be addressed. Our emotional health is just as important as any other aspect of our health. Have you ever felt "sick and tired"? Or heard of someone who died of a "broken heart"? Feelings like this are surely not good for your general over all health, our grandmothers told us this.
So, if you want to live a long and happy life; let go of any grievance and Love your neighbor as yourself.
