What is Health??

WEEK 2 BLOGGING CHALLENGE

So this week we've been asked to write about what we think Health is, hmmm let me see.

Sure health can be measured, there's a BMI range, waist to hip ratio, waist measurement, blood tests - cholesterol, blood sugar etc, blood pressure and many many more but none of these pop into my head.

The first thing I picture when you say "health" is me running along the beach in a swimsuit, chasing my nieces in & out of the waves. The sun is shining, the water is cool, I feel alive and we are all happy and laughing.

Ive spent so many years in bad health that Ive realised it was a place of not being able to do things, of being unhappy and not participating in life and well being healthy is the opposite of that.

Being healthy to me is participating in life, its not being limited by the physical and being able to just do whatever I choose to do. Its about happiness and enjoying the company of others, its socialising, its getting outside and enjoying nature.

I still have a way to go until the measurements indicate health but truly I feel I already have it, its just going to get better :)
