HEALTH

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)

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)

The way to consider health has greatly changed over the centuries

Influenced by POLITICAL ORGANIZATION ECONOMY SCIENCE CULTURE Carlo Magno

Since the origin of human beings, and still now in some cultures, HEALTH and ILLNESS DEED or PUNISHMENT by the GODS The BRIDGE between GOD and the ill person are considered is the PRIEST or the SORCERER

replaces the Gods and HEALTH is intended as Absence of illness The Bridge between SCIENCE and the ILL PERSON is the DOCTOR After 1800 SCIENCE

we are used to DELEGATE our HEALTH to DOCTORS The DOCTOR has become the SOLE RESPONSIBLE for HEALTH

We are not concerned by the we are only concerned by PROMOTION of HEALTH of the INDIVIDUAL and of the COMMUNITY CURING the ILLNESS

HEALTH is defined as the PHYSICAL, PSYCHICAL and SOCIAL BALANCE of a PERSON well inserted in his/her FAMILY and in his/her COMMUNITY Today

HEALTH is the greatest of BLESSINGS It is PERSONAL and COLLECTIVE CHANGING the LIFE STYLE and the PROCESS of TAKING BACK POSSESSION of our HEALTH can start and can be implemented ATTENDING THE CLUB

It is important to pay attention to the SPIRITUAL DIMENSION of HEALTH INTENDED as INTERIOR HARMONY MENTAL HEALTH

CAPACITY to INTERACT and to take PLEASURE from such INTERACTION CAPACITY to LOVE and to be LOVED V. Hudolin, 1996 MENTAL HEALTH

EVERY ONE has the RIGHT - DUTY to PROMOTE and PROTECT HEALTH Igea OUR OWN and the one of the COMMUNITY Panacea

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

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

SELFPROTECTION: AVOID BEHAVIOURS which can ALTER the balance of the PERSON FAMILY COMMUNITY drinking, smoking, taking illegal drugs, driving dangerously, gambling, eating too much or too little, taking drugs without prescription etc.

HEALTHY LIFE STYLE = SELFPROTECTION OF HEALTH

ACTING to RE-ESTABLISH the LOST BALANCE, to INCREASE the SELF ESTEEM becoming conscious of ones situation, sharing the feelings with others, not withdrawing into oneself, attending the Club, being proud of it. HEALTH as SELFPROTECTION
