¿Qué es enfermedad?

To begin the first topic of this column called Libellua salud, I would like to define the concept of health and how we should maintain it.

We all talk about health, since this is a concept that we cannot isolate from the conversations we have with our family and friends, especially nowadays that through social networks the idea of a healthy lifestyle has been promoted, but if we stop to ask several people what they understand by health, we will see that the concept is constantly changing. Surely some will tell us that being healthy means feeling good, being able to live a peaceful life, not getting sick or only rarely getting sick, living in harmony with the environment, exercising, not suffering from "aches and pains" and so on....

The concept of health has different nuances, because we do not all understand the same thing when we talk about it, since it involves knowledge linked to the culture and beliefs of each individual, their norms, traditions, values and a series of elements that play an important role in giving meaning to this word, showing then that this concept is not static, but remains in constant change.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not only the absence of disease.

Starting from this concept and analyzing it a little, we can see that health consists of a balance between mind, body and spirit, as well as how our environment influences to preserve it. Health implies that all the fundamental needs of people are covered: affective, health, nutritional, social and cultural. However, over the years this definition given by the WHO is utopian, since only 10 to 25% of the world's population is completely healthy.

As you can see the concept of health has different approaches and the fact that we recognize it, allows us to move forward in terms of prevention, promotion and recovery of health in practice, from an approach of equity and right that all individuals are entitled to.Now, taking into account this brief explanation of the concept of health, we can then ask ourselves: What is disease?

The WHO defines disease as: "An alteration or deviation from the physiological state in one or more parts of the body, due to generally known causes, manifested by characteristic symptoms and signs, and whose evolution is more or less foreseeable".

Illness is just another part of health, and of life in general. All human beings get sick, in fact it is impossible not to, since when something does not work properly at a biological, physical and mental level, our body begins to manifest different signs and symptoms that indicate that there is an imbalance in it and cause things not to go as they should.

This is the million dollar question. Many people know that having a good health is necessary to perform day to day activities, from breathing, walking, going to work, to share with our loved ones, but they are not really aware of the things they need to do to stay healthy and it is actually easy, the problem is that it is complicated to fulfill it, because the "modern life" has diverted us a little from the right path, through alcohol consumption, poor diet, smoking, among other factors (including environmental) that harm our health.

Con mucho cariño me despido. Espero de todo corazón que este espacio en @womentribe sirva para conectar y aprender todas un poquito de cada una, a través de las diferentes experiencias que podamos tener y que sean de gran ayuda, ya que somos una comunidad enfocada en el autoconocimiento, desarrollo del potencial de las capacidades que tenemos como seres humanos y sobretodo como mujeres emprendedoras que buscan crecer dentro del mundo de la web3.

Changing our habits from one day to the next is not easy, but if we set out to lead a healthier life and understand that taking care of our health is important to ensure a better quality of life, you will see that little by little the body will adapt to all these changes and you will feel better as the days go by. The important thing is to start taking care of yourself now, so you can enjoy a few years in good condition and when we are in an advanced age we can enjoy full health in every way.

With much affection I bid you farewell. I hope with all my heart that this space in @womentribe serves to connect and learn a little bit from each other, through the different experiences that we can have and that are of great help, as we are a community focused on self-knowledge, development of the potential of the capabilities we have as human beings and especially as women entrepreneurs who seek to grow in the world of web3.
