13. HEALTH

14. Health is a state of complete well-being, physical, mental and social, and not simply the absence of illness or infirmity (W.H.O. 1948)

15. Health is a condition of harmony, in a functional, physical and psychological balance of the human being, who is dynamically integrated in his natural and social environment (A. Seppilli 1966)

16. The way to consider health has greatly changed over the centuries

17. Influenced by POLITICAL ORGANIZATION ECONOMY SCIENCE CULTURE Carlo Magno

27. Health is created and lived by people within the settings of their everyday life; where they learn, work, play and love. Health is created by caring for oneself and others, by being able to take decisions and have control over one's life circumstances, and by ensuring that the society one lives in creates conditions that allow the attainment of health by all its members. Ottawa Charter, W.H.O. - 1986

28. HEALTH as SELFPROTECTION KNOWING: learning and training UNDERSTANDING: improving awareness, recovering consciousness, to generate RESPONSIBILITY CHOOSING: acquiring capacity and tools for a critical examination and eventually for a DECISION ACTING: changing your habits, adopting a new LIFE STYLE
