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

Our ability to adapt to new threats and infirmities
Participating fully in service to God and the world
A means to lead a full life with meaning and purpose
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
