"The complete physical, mental, social, and not just the absence of pain"
For any organism, health is a form of homeostasis. This is a balance in which energy and mass in and out (input and output) are in equilibrium (allowing growth). Health also implies the ability to live with a positive outlook.
For humans, the ability to analyze and anticipate, health is more than that. This means not only need to correct it at the right time, but subjective understanding necessary for the survival of a healthy balance. This understanding comes from somatic perception, including pain and discomfort and cognitive perception. To feel healthy, one needs to feel himself healthy and have no internal or external risks that may interfere with health.
