Predictive Health-care delivery is by no means a niche market idea in the realm of Alternative Medicine, a feasibility study has been published by a mainstream institution...

Physical Health is the only one element of Health that is considered objectively measurable, but is it? Physical Health is expressed in numbers that are correlated with a de facto normative standard. The standard is constituted by...

Health - is a term we use daily with the notion that it evokes the same meaning in everyone, according to its context. But it might actually be hugely beneficial to the intense Health-care debates, to ponder what conditions amount to a healthy person. The symptoms of the evident loss of physical health is just the final stage of a disorder in one of the 5 non-physical health constituents...

Emotions are spontaneous and ever-changing. Emotions are the person-specific non-conscious reactions to a situation that may result in feelings, such as anger, joy, sadness, love or hate. Expressed emotions typically include crying, yelling, laughing, shouting, trembling, stumbling or even fainting. In contrast, Mind can be...

Searching the literature doesn't reveal anything close to a universally acceptable definition, it is rather interesting to note that otherwise reputable institutions such as the WHO seem to flee from tackling the issue because...

When talking Health, we tacitly understand this to mean the physical body, not even thinking of what's causing physical illness. Intellectual Health is the least known of the 6 intertwining Health Modules and it is the only one element that has not yet been exploited by the...

While the state of Physical Health is assessed and expressed by consensus by medical sciences, of what and how to include Biomarkers into a numerically normative standard - "Social Health" is ambiguous in terms and flatly ignored in contemporary Health assessments. It is noteworthy, however that...

Health-care systems and their medical institutions don't practice measuring Health, they search for and quantify symptoms of disease. You don't walk out of a medical office as, let's say 95% healthy, you are dismissed as "no symptoms detected". As the definition of Vitality is evidently much more user-friendly than that of Health, we might expect the measurement of Vitality to be more conclusive than measuring Health. That is indeed the case, at least when we look at subjective Vitality...

There is a growing trend in people asking to know their biological age, with the expressed or implied expectation to hear that they are biologically younger than their calendar age. This movement has spawned whole new industries and revived old ones to cash in on this development. By "aging" we usually allude to the biological process of growing older in a deleterious sense. That is why - the longer we have aged, the more we seek to forestall agings' ultimate terminal effect.

Word Definitions may have a huge impact on Society and Culture? For example, the absence of a definition for the Word "Health" may come with an enormous economical loss and a sick general population. How can we deliver health-care when we can't define it? That may be the very reason why we practice sick-care and deceptively call it health-care.
