Health: the basics

In this blog I will start with the basics about health.  As defined by the Merriam Webster dictionary, health is “the condition of being well or free from disease” and “the overall condition of someone's body or mind”.  From that definition of health I felt the need to look up disease because to be healthy you must be disease free and I felt it important to know what exactly disease was.  Disease was defined as “a problem that a person, group, organization, or society has and cannot stop”. Nobody wants to be put in a situation in life that they have no control over. Health should be the goal of every human being. Being disease free is in grasp of most individuals.  The choices we make in the foods we put in our bodies are the causes of most diseases.  The American Diabetes Association says that being overweight is a risk factor for developing type two diabetes. In order to become overweight, it would have something to do with the foods you are consuming. The evidence is out there that there is a relationship between food and health. In my next blog I will take a deeper look at specific foods and their healthy and unhealthy properties.
