>　　在美国有个意大利人区，他们和其他城市人一样，烟吸得多、运动做得少，吃的肉和脂肪特别多，面对一样的压力情境，肥胖和高血压也达一般水准。而且他们仍然比较长寿。研究人员一度为此百思不得其解，后来终于发现，这个地区的居民有极强的社会交往能力和团队凝聚力。这使人不得不再次相信，健康的主要因素是难以捉摸的，就预防心脏病而言，信任、理解、精神的支持、社会的归属感、平和宁静的心境可能比慢跑或不吃奶油更重要。

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

>Back in 1977 when health experts from all over the world set themselves the goal of "Health for all by the year 2000", they considered that a great achievement.<

>And indeed it is!<

>For it is an expression of health equity, which is one of the most important aspects of social justice, or rather the most important of all, for the Prophet Muhammad said "Next to faith, no-one has ever been given anything better than good health".<a href="http://www.emro.who.int/publications/HealthEdReligion/EnvironmentalHealth/Chapter1.htm#1" target="_blank" >1</A><

>Earlier, in 1948 and 1984, two definitions were arrived at to determine precisely what health is. The first spoke of three dimensions of health: the physical, psychological, and social, and a fourth—the spiritual dimension— was added by the second definition. Thus health is defined as, "a state of complete well-being, physical, psychological, social, and spiritual, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity".<

>An important aspect of this definition is that it speaks of "a state of complete well-being", rather than just well-being. In Arabic the root from which the equivalent of well-being, or sound health, is derived denotes abundance. When the root word is ascribed to something it refers to its best, finest, purest and most abundant state.<

>That is the kind of health we want: human beings in their best, finest and most sublime condition, physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually.<

>Another particularly significant aspect of this definition of health is the fact that it speaks in a positive manner. We are used to people defining well-being as the absence of disease, which is like defining life as the absence of death. With this positive definition, the world goes back to concepts introduced by physicians of the Arab-Islamic civilization. As Ibn Rushd, a well-known physician and Islamic scholar, said some eight hundred years ag<

>Health is a state in which an organ performs its normal function, or undergoes its normal reaction.<

>Or, as Ali ibn Al-Abbas said a thousand years ag<

>Health is a state of the body in which functions are run in the normal course.Or, as Ibn Al-Nafees said seven hundred years ago,Health is a state of the body in which functions are normal per se, while disease is the opposite state.Thus for them health is the norm and the starting point, and disease is the condition contrary to health.This was not the only example of a return to our Arab–Islamic culture and the concepts it formulated in this field.In speaking of the basic elements of health, our present world has turned back to a concept originally introduced by us, but which with the passage of time, people started to overlook—the concept of "health balance", which Muslim physicians derived from the words of God, speaking of the balance He has infused into the nature of this universe, with all its systems, including humanity itself.He has raised the Heaven on high, and He has enforced the balance. That you exceed not the bounds; but observe the balance strictly; and fall not short thereof. (55:7–9)Thus God draws our attentions to the balance which places everything in order, and He warns that any upsetting of this balance in whatever direction, whether to increase or decrease an item, might destroy it altogether and lead to the worst possible consequences: Mankind! Your transgression will rebound on your own selves. (10:23)The Muslim physician recognized and fully comprehended that fact and applied it in the field of health, using the term state of equilibrium to refer to that "dynamic balance". Ali Ibn Al-Abbas sums it up very briefly when he says:Health means that the body is in a state of equilibrium.And Ibn Sina pointed out the dynamic nature of this balance one thousand years ago when he said:The state of equilibrium which a human enjoys has a certain range with an upper and lower limit.So it is a balance swinging between two extremities, which form the limits of equilibrium. It is represented by the various parameters of the body which we know today. These parameters are physiological features that stabilize themselves, i.e. they remain stable within a certain range with maximum and minimum limits. Examples of these are the heart rate, blood pressure, hormone secretion, blood sugar, brain waves and psychological mood.Since the body is capable of allowing these essential values to go up and down within a certain range and certain limits, this indicates that it has the ability to adjust successfully with all or most of the changes it is exposed to, whether from inside, which means changes in its cells and tissues (or moistures as the ancients used to put it), or from outside, which means changes in the environment in its broadest sense. It does so to maintain the health balance, protecting it against being upset, and adjusting any disorder in it.This health potential is a basic advantage enjoyed by man, and it is clearly referred to in the hadith:And store up enough health to draw on during your illness.At the individual level, this health potential may mean a good nutritional condition. A person who enjoys such a nutritional reserve is able to face the risks and hazards that threaten him from the cradle to the grave. It may mean a good immunity reserve, which provides people with the antibodies they need to fight, without being aware of it, many of the bacteria and alien organisms that invade his body from outside. It may mean a physical fitness which allows him to successfully adjust to outside pressures the body may be exposed to. It may mean a feeling of security or emotional stability which enables him to put up with the psychological stresses that shake the being. It may even mean health education which guides him to follow the healthy lifestyles that spares him many diseases or ailments. The kind reader may agree with me that a health potential is the total sum of all this.Contemporary scientists use the term "health promotion" for the set of methods employed to reinforce and develop health potential so that a surplus of health can always be maintained. When a health balance is positive, people enjoy the best health and fitness, and when it is negative, they fall prey to diseases and maladies.A set of factors in the human body and in the environment may tilt the health balance towards a negative reading if they are unfavourable and a positive one if favourable. Ibn Sina called this set "the factors that change or maintain human body conditions". He listed the following factors:The air and things related to it; food, water, drinks and related things; vomiting; congestion; sites, housing, and what relate to them; and physical and psychological motion or stillness, including sleep and wakefulness, progress in age, difference in age, race, professions and habits.To these, Ali ibn Al-Abbas added "sports, massage, bath-taking and sex". In speaking about these factors, he said:When these things follow their proper course and are in the right condition required for each body, in quantity, quality, timing, and order, normal conditions are maintained and the body continues to be healthy.It is evident that these factors can be divided into two groups, and in dividing them, I will modify some of the terms used to make them conform with current usage.The first group is the environment. It includes factors that are shared by all members of a community, such as water, the air, food and wastes, and other factors that concern each individual separately, such as housing and profession.The second group is behaviour related to health, or let us say "habits", if we want to retain the term used by Ibn Sina and Ibn Al-Abbas. These are the lifestyles relating to eating, drinking, sleeping, waking up, playing sports or lack of exercise, stresses or relief, and isolation or sociability (the last five of these are included in the term physical and psychological motion or stillness), as well as sexual behaviour, physical therapy, and finally the development of this behaviour according to growth, age and gender. Ali ibn Al-Abbas said about these lifestyles:In all matters of health protection, habits should be taken into consideration, as such consideration is a major element of protecting health and treating diseases. When a habit has been followed for so long, it becomes a natural thing.These two groups of factors have a real influence on health potential. They make it either grow or diminish:<TABLE cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=7 width=444 border=1><TR><TD width=85>Lifestyles</TD><TD width=58><img src="http://www.emro.who.int/publications/HealthEdReligion/EnvironmentalHealth/Arrow1.jpg"></TD><TD width=70>Health potential</TD><TD width=52><img src="http://www.emro.who.int/publications/HealthEdReligion/EnvironmentalHealth/Arrow2.jpg"> </TD><TD width=89>Environment</TD></TR></TABLE>
