What Does it Mean to be Healthy?

BadassMindsetNutrition

Different stages of life have garnered very different answers to this question. I have pursued health for many reasons, depending on the decade, trying different programs, rules, trainers, classes, diets, spiritual healing, and relaxation methods.
