I like this definition of health which I found recently. I like that it's 
seen as a process, not a state. While we're alive, we're in process.

"Health is a process of adaption, to changing environments, to growing up 
and aging, to healing when damaged, to suffering, and to the peaceful 
expectation of death.  Health embraces the future, so includes anguish, and 
the inner resources to live with it."
