HEALTH

“Health is a state of complete

well-being, physical, mental and

social, and not simply the

absence of illness or infirmity

(W.H.O. 1948)

 

“Health is a condition of harmony, in a

functional, physical and psychological

balance of the human being, who is

dynamically integrated in his natural

and social environment

(A. Seppilli 1966)

The way to consider

health

has greatly

changed

over the centuries

Influenced by

POLITICAL ORGANIZATION

ECONOMY

SCIENCE

CULTURE

Carlo Magno

Since the origin of human beings, and

still now in some cultures,

HEALTH and ILLNESS

DEED or PUNISHMENT

by the GODS

The BRIDGE between GOD and the ill person

are considered

is the PRIEST or the SORCERER

replaces the Gods

and HEALTH

is intended as

Absence of illness

The Bridge between SCIENCE and theILL PERSON is the

DOCTOR

After 1800 SCIENCE

we are used to

DELEGATEour HEALTH

to DOCTORS

The DOCTOR

has become

the SOLE RESPONSIBLE

for HEALTH

We are not concerned by the

we are only concerned by

PROMOTION of HEALTHof the INDIVIDUAL and of the COMMUNITY

CURING the ILLNESS

HEALTH is defined as

the PHYSICAL, PSYCHICAL and SOCIAL BALANCE

of a PERSON well inserted

in his/her FAMILY and in his/her COMMUNITY

Today

HEALTH is the greatest of BLESSINGS

It is PERSONAL and COLLECTIVE

CHANGING the LIFE STYLE and the PROCESS of TAKING BACK POSSESSION of our HEALTH can start and can be implemented ATTENDING THE CLUB

It is important to pay attention to the

SPIRITUAL DIMENSION

of HEALTH

INTENDED as

INTERIOR HARMONY

MENTAL HEALTH

• CAPACITY to INTERACT

and to take PLEASURE

from such INTERACTION

• CAPACITY

to LOVE and

to be LOVED

V. Hudolin, 1996

MENTAL HEALTH

EVERY ONE has the

RIGHT - DUTY

to PROMOTE and PROTECT

HEALTHIgea

OUR OWN and the one of the COMMUNITY

Panacea

“Health is created and lived by people within the

settings of their everyday life; where they learn,

work, play and love.

Health is created by caring for oneself and others,

by being able to take decisions and have control

over one's life circumstances, and by ensuring that

the society one lives in creates conditions that allow

the attainment of health by all its members.

Ottawa Charter, W.H.O. - 1986

HEALTH as

SELFPROTECTION• KNOWING: learning and training

• UNDERSTANDING: improving awareness, recovering consciousness, to generate RESPONSIBILITY

• CHOOSING: acquiring capacity and tools for a critical examination and eventually for a DECISION

• ACTING: changing your habits, adopting a new LIFE STYLE

SELFPROTECTION:

AVOID BEHAVIOURS which can ALTER the balance of the PERSON FAMILY COMMUNITY

drinking, smoking, taking illegal drugs, driving dangerously, gambling, eating too much or too little, taking drugs without prescription etc.

HEALTHY LIFE STYLE =

SELFPROTECTION OF HEALTH

ACTING to RE-ESTABLISH the LOST BALANCE, to INCREASE the SELF ESTEEM becoming conscious of one’s situation, sharing the feelings with others, not withdrawing into oneself, attending the Club, being proud of it.
