First posting...

When I opened this blog, I very2 wanna share about How beautiful of my Indonesia...
but I think, Health is important to share too.....
healthy is number one, without that....i didn't know, how complicated this life...

Start with this, I just get this from my book, if you have other definitions,...it's better...

Definition of health...
health is a highly individual perception. Some people define health as the ability to carry out their normal daily tasks : A healthy women is able to go to work and accomplishes her usual tasks, A healthy youngster can go to school and play baseball at noon. other people consider themselves healthy only when they have vitality in their daily living and a feeling of wellness.
Meaning and descriptions of health vary with geography and culture. Health ang a highly industrialized nation such as the United State is quite different from health in some deprived nations. in the latter, skin lession may be considered normal and not a sign of all health, indeed, the absence of lessions may be considered uncommon.
In summary, there is no absolute definition of health. there is no certain knowledge of how to attain the ultimate level of health, nor can health itself be measured.
