In Ci Hai, the concept of health is: "The organs and systems of the human body are well developed, with normal functions, strong body, full of energy and good labor."
Healthy food
Status of performance. It is usually measured by anthropometry, physical examination and various physiological indicators. "This formulation is more perfect than' health is no disease', but it still treats people as biological organisms. Because although it puts forward the concept of "labor efficiency", it still doesn't treat people as social people. The understanding of health is recognized as correct in the era of biomedical model.
Why is there such a comment about health in our dictionary? There are two reasons. First, the dictionary author doesn't know that the World Health Organization has a definition of "health" in 1946. Second, his own understanding of health is like this, which should be said to be "harmful". However, then again, according to the understanding of the general public, health means "the body is in a normal state of operation and there is no disease". This concept was recognized and accepted by the masses at that time, including medical workers. Because, for a long time in the past, we knew nothing about the "intact state of psychological and social adaptability". It was not until the reform and opening up in recent years that we began to pay attention to the influence of psychological and social adaptability on health. A doctor who graduated from a medical university in the 1960s told me that they didn't learn two subjects well at school. One is nutrition and the other is mental health. I didn't learn nutrition well because I didn't even have enough to eat at that time. What about nutrition? As for mental health, it is an idealized thing.
Regarding the concepts of health and disease, The Concise Encyclopedia Britannica (Chinese version 1987) is defined as: "Health enables individuals to adapt to the physical, emotional, spiritual and social aspects of the environment for a long time." "Disease is an abnormal physiological or psychological state that produces symptoms or signs", which refers to the state that the morphology and function of organs and tissues deviate from the normal standards under the influence of pathogenic factors. "Health can be measured by measurable values (such as height, weight, temperature, pulse, blood pressure, vision, etc.). ), but its standards are difficult to master. " Although psychological factors are mentioned in the definition of this concept, there is no specific content in measurement and disease classification. It can be said that this is the product of the transition from biomedical model to biological, psychological and social medical model. On the one hand, this transformation still lacks enough clinical practice data to provide theoretical summary; On the other hand, although the author accepted the idea of new medical model, it is difficult to make further theoretical discussion.
Therefore, it did not reach the concept of health mentioned by the World Health Organization (WHO) in its constitution when 1946 was established: "Health is a state of physical, psychological and social perfection, not just a state of absence of disease and weakness." (health

In fact, it is difficult to define it accurately. Because even if there is no obvious disease, people's feelings about health or unhealthy are very subjective. There is no doubt that feeling healthy does not mean that you are not sick.
The World Health Organization's definition of health extends human health from the biological sense to spiritual and social relations (the quality of social communication), including physical and mental health, family and social life.
