Thread: For you: what means to be healthy?

For me, being healthy means alot of exercise, and eating healthy! Like, I run around my street three days a week, and I eat really healthy. I don't go to my gym anymore, cause, well, it cost too much...also, just a pointer, all these diet pills and junk can't be good for you at all...

So, yeah, my definition of healthy is working out and eating healthy food! ^^

Healthy means a lot to me...
It helps us to be not weak..Tries to give s more health..
And other things that you could think too.

well to me..it means ..excerising,eating fruits and vegatables,staying away from alot of fatty foods and sugar, daily.. i mean its ok to have some sugar and some fat even salt but having it too much and eating alot of it is bad..lol..doing those coulpe things makes a person healty..its funny though, i see alot of skinny ppl eating alot of junk and never get fat..but there are big ppl who exceries,eat healty,ect and still gain a pound by one chip..O.o lol..what's up with that

Can a fat guy be healthy?

Well it depends on how fat, but most likely no. Being extremely overweight puts a strain on the heart(and other body organs),causes unhealthy conditions(Like diabetes), and will eventually kill you.


To me being healthy is exercising, watching what you eat, and being fit mentally.

I believe being healthy is more than just what you eat and exercise. I believe it is also how happy you are, and your mental and spiritual health. I also think that health can also be (but not always) determined by your culture, economic status and the environment you live in. So in a sense I do agree with the WHO definition of health.

Yes. While I won't deny that there are extremes to both ends, but I really do believe that you can be 'fat' whilst being healthy at the same time. There are plenty of 'fat' people who have no health problems what so ever and live healthy lives (in terms of both eating and exercising and what I mentioned above). I also don't believe in this so called BMI system. If my friend is skinnier than me and was classified as 'over-weight' their must be something wrong with it xD

To be healthy is to be happy, and to be happy is to be healthy. This is the most simple way i see health as. I don't really care about what professionals say about keeping fit and all. But for me its all about the energy i have on hand and at my disposal.

You can go into the finer details and all, but this is what i believe the essence of good health is. Or is it good living? Ahh well it's all the same in the end.
