In any organism, health is a form of homeostasis. This occurs as state of balance, by owning inputs & outputs of energy and matter in equilibrium (allowing for incubation). Health besides implies expert prospects for continued survival. Inside animate animals like human being, health occurs as wide construct. The World Health Organization defines health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and does not consist only of the absence of disease or infirmity."

A virtually all firm aspects of health that healthy firmly in the realm of medicine are the environmental health, nutrition, disease prevention, and public health matters that can be investigated & help within measuring well-being.
