What a cool way to look at health! I started my health journey 6 months ago. I sprint and have had 4 strains. The 4th strain (arguably the worst) healed in half time as the 1st.

It sounds like you're getting healthier!

I ruptured my achilles tendon, and now I'm on the mend. My capacity to heal has been diminished because of the injury, but at the same time, I will heal quicker than most (hopefully) because of my capacity to heal. The WHO definition of health would not accurately describe the "state" that I'm in. It's more of a flux. I like your definition, Dr. Seager!

Great example! Most people would say your health is degraded because of the ruptured achillles tendon, and I don't want to say they're wrong. We know what they mean. What I'm talking about is how "health" is the speed of recovery from the injury. To me, it doesn't make sense to suggest that you're "sick" or "unhealthy" because you have an injured tendon.
