“Healthier”: since “healthier” is an adjective, we should first clearly understand the
base word “Health” and simply assume that the adjective form, “healthier”
simply indicates achieving more of the same. Therefore the term “health”
is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of a living being. In humans, it is the general
condition of a person's
mind, body and spirit, usually meaning to be free from illness, injury or pain. The
World Health
Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in 1946 as
"a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not
merely the absence of disease or infirmity." Although
this definition has been subject to controversy, in particular as lacking
operational value and because of the problem created by use of the word
"complete", it remains the most enduring.
Therefore we must consider or establish "where we are" and "where we want to go". Or we assume that we are currently "healthy" or healthy enough to establish a base line measurement. For example, if we assume that weight loss is one path toward being healthier, then we should all track our weight during the test period.
