Health

My word for the day is health. This is the noun and the adjective is healthy or healthful. A person is healthy when he or she feels well and doesn't have any physical or mental problems. Things that promote good health are healthful, like exercise, good eating habits, etc.

We can speak of different kinds of health, for example, financial health or mental health. A company or country could be financially healthy. The comparative and superlative forms of healthy are healthier and healthiest. The opposite adjectives are unhealthy and unhealthful. Some environments are polluted and thus unhealthful.

Sometimes when we make a toast (say something when we raise our glasses of wine, beer or champagne), we say, "To your health." We often write "Have a healthy and happy New Year" on cards we send for Christmas.

I hope that you are enjoying good health. If not, I hope that you feel better soon!
