The most important thing in life

One of our most important duties

The richest possession we can have

An interrelationship between parts

An important part of Biblical religion

Something we need to gain knowledge in

A practice rather than a problem to fix

Completeness, soundness, welfare, peace

The ultimate design of God for humanity

A relationship between us and our bodies

Not what goes wrong, but what goes right

Largely the result of individual choices

The absence of any disease or impairment

The means to an end, or an end in itself

The foundation of our ambitions and hopes

The success with which we adapt to change

When we are linked to a source of meaning

Optimum wellness of body, mind, and spirit

Something we need the Bible as an owner’s manual for

Something we owe to ourselves, to society, and to God

The interrelationship between our body and our spirit

The integration of both the physical and the spiritual

Our ability to be physically, socially and mentally fit

A result of understanding and applying health principles

Coherence, connection, agency/action, blessing, and hope

Prosperity, happiness, welfare, preservation, and safety

A resource for everyday life, not the objective of living

A sign of the kingdom of heaven becoming present amongst us

Our ability to maintain homeostasis and recover from insults

When bodily functions and processes are working at their peak

A sound state of the mind and the natural vigour of faculties

Something we spend a lot of money trying to maintain or recover

The medium through which rays of light are to shine upon people

When the body and spirit are united in our thinking and actions

A sound state of the mind, and purity and goodness in a moral sense

When we live in a web of relationships that sustain and nurture us

Normal function that could be disrupted from time to time by disease

When we lean into a future that is assured, in this life and forever

The presence or absence of disease or medically measured risk factors

The medicalization of everything organic and emotional that bothers us?

Sufficient sleep, exercise, healthy food, friendship, and peace of mind

The correction of circumstances in which health is hindered or thwarted

Our ability to perform personally valued family, work and community roles

Our ability to deal with physical, biologic, psychologic and social stress

Social harmony as well as personal well-being, and the elimination of violence

Wholeness within oneself and in community with humankind, God, and all of creation

The state of being perfectly well in body, soul (mind, will and emotions) and spirit

When we know we have the capacity to respond to the call God has placed on our lives

Medical health delivery – 10%, family genetics - 20%, environment - 20%, lifestyle – 50%

A virtue that makes possible our presence to one another in health, sickness and suffering

Secured through obedience to the laws that God has established for the good of all mankind

A state in which the parts of a living body are sound, and regularly perform their functions

Our ability to adapt and self-manage in the face of social, physical, and emotional challenges

A way of life that leads not only to physical, mental and spiritual health, but to eternal life

Our ability to realize aspirations and satisfy needs, and to change or cope with the environment

Complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity

A resource to support our function in wider society, rather than something that is an end in itself

A state in which humans and other living creatures with which they interact can coexist indefinitely

The extent to which we maintain in readiness the resources required to meet the exigencies of the future

A positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capabilities or capacities

Not subjecting any part of ourselves to constant wear and pressure, while letting other parts rust from inaction

Dependent on our social and economic environment, our physical environment and our characteristics and behaviours

Eating lightly, breathing deeply, living moderately, cultivating cheerfulness, and maintaining an interest in life

The extent to which we are able to realize aspirations and satisfy needs, and to change or cope with the environment

Having peace, shelter, education, food, income, a stable ecosystem, sustainable resources, social justice, and equity

An equilibrium that we have established within ourselves and between ourselves and our social and physical environment

Not the absence of illness, but the reliance on Christ and others even while facing the realities of illness and death

The capability of individuals, families, groups and communities to cope successfully in the face of significant adversity or risk

The state in which our parts are sound, well organized and disposed, and in which they all perform freely their natural functions

Partly the result of structural causes - whether society is arranged in a way that makes it easier or harder for us to get necessary healthcare services

Maintained and improved not only through the advancement and application of health science, but also through the efforts and intelligent lifestyle choices of the individual and society

The realization of our fullest potential physically, psychologically, socially, spiritually, and economically, and the fulfillment of our roles and expectations in the family, community, place of worship, and other settings
