"It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver." - Mahatma Gandhi.
"Eat Your Food as your Medicine, Otherwise you will have to Eat Medicines as your Food" - Dr. Michael Osae, GAEC.
HEALTH is the level of functional and metabolic efficiency of a living organism. In humans it is the ability of individuals or communities to adapt and self-manage when facing physical, mental, psychological and social changes with environment. The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in its 1948 constitution as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This definition has been subject to controversy, in particular as lacking operational value, the ambiguity in developing cohesive health strategies, and because of the problem created by use of the word "complete". Other definitions have been proposed, among which a recent definition that correlates health and personal satisfaction.

- Jet lag hits differently depending on your travel direction. Here are 6 tips to get over it - "The term 'jet lag' describes the physical and cognitive symptoms people experience when traveling quickly across several timezones. Before you leave for a trip, you’re synchronized to your local time. Once you enter a new timezone, your body’s rhythms are no longer lined up with the clock on the wall. That’s when jet lag symptoms hit. You’re sleepy when you want to be awake, and wide awake when you want to be asleep. You’re hungry in the middle of the night, and might feel bloated or nauseous if you eat during the day. Until your body clock and all the rhythms it controls line up with the new local time, you are physiologically and mentally discombobulated. Not a happy vacation vibe!"

- Walk, Jog or Dance: It’s All Good for the Aging Brain - The New York Times.
- Walking can lower risk of early death, but there’s more to it than number of steps, study finds - "Put on your walking shoes and don’t forget your step counter: You can reduce your risk for cancer, heart disease and early death by getting up to 10,000 steps a day, but any amount of walking helps, according to a new study. Health benefits rose with every step, the study found, but peaked at 10,000 steps - after that the effects faded. Counting steps may be especially important for people who do unstructured, unplanned physical activity such as house work, gardening and dog walks."

They claim they no longer market traditional cigarettes, but behind-the scenes tactics suggest otherwise. Leah Green explains how the most successful business enterprise in history has weathered its fall from grace."

- Whatever the Problem, It’s Probably Solved by Walking - "Walking is the worst-kept secret I know. Its rewards hide under every step. Hippocrates proclaimed that 'walking is man’s best medicine.' The good doctor also knew that walking provided more than mere physical benefits when he suggested: 'If you are in a bad mood, go for a walk. If you are still in a bad mood, go for another walk.' He was alluding to what so many who came after would attest, that walking not only nourishes the body but also soothes the mind while it burns off tension and makes our troubles recede into a more manageable perspective. Søren Kierkegaard agreed when he confessed, 'I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it.' And Charles Dickens was even more direct. 'If I could not walk far and fast,' he wrote, 'I think I should just explode and perish.'"
