How to be healthy?

This is a really good question because majority of us have different definitions of health. Today when you think of being healthy what do you really think? What defines health or most importantly being "healthy"?

Someone laying in a bed at the hospital?  Not healthy

Someone who is in pain all the time? Not healthy

Someone who is getting surgery? Not healthy

Someone who is taking drugs in order to function a normal life? Not healthy


There are so many more questions that you can ask and debate if it's healthy or not. Most likely if you have to ask then it's probably not. A lot of things we question that don't seem 'normal' are symptoms. Symptoms, any at all are exactly what they are "symptoms". A symptom is an indication of something or the result of something.

Symptoms are there to tell us something is going on. Just like if we have a cold, some symptoms are runny noses, high fever, headaches etc. So how are they any different for any other situation? So many of people I know have migraines and headaches. Several of them think they are "normal" but in reality they are just common. A drug just covers up the symptoms but never takes care of the root of the problem. A common example the doctors here uses is that of a "check engine light". It is an indicator that something is going on with the car so you should get it checked out. Will that change if you just put a band aid on top of the check engine light? No, because the car still has something going on.
