Health is a state of physical, mental and social well-being in which disease and infirmity are absent. A variety of definitions have been used for different purposes over time. Health can be promoted by encouraging healthful activities, such as regular physical exercise, and by reducing or avoiding unhealthful activities or situations, such as smoking or excessive stress. Some factors affecting health are due to individual choices, such as whether to engage in a high-risk behavior, and others are due to structural causes, such as whether the society is arranged in a way that makes it easier or harder for people to get necessary healthcare services. Still other factors are beyond both individual and group choices, such as genetic disorders.

I think it is better to be healthy, in body, mind, and spirit, than to be happy. Degenerate happiness--like from drugs--is worthless. Happiness is only valuable for two things: it helps people be healthy (unhappy people suffer health problems), and it is a (sometimes unreliable) indicator of...

Amphetamines, commonly known as "speed", and adrenaline activate the body in a similar way. Breathing and heart rate speed up, the pupils widen, blood pressure increases, and appetite is suppressed.
