Defining our own health
Aside from formal definitions, experts are learning that the way we feel about our health is very important. In fact, there is evidence that the way we perceive our level of health may be more important than true measures of health.
Two areas to think about are 1)how we feel and 2) how well we can function.

1) How we feel-Feeling well is related to our attitude as well as true measures of health. As the saying goes “it is all relative”. In other words, individual perceptions of pain and limitations vary widely person to person. People who feel well and have a positive attitude are more likely to actually be healthy as well.
