Abstract
What is health? We all have a goal that we aspire for in our life-our "reason to live". Health is a pillar necessary for achieving our goal in life and I believe that altruism is the basic principle of this pillar. In this paper, I first discuss altruism in health from biological and economic perspectives, and then review the history of the concept of health. Next, I introduce the keywords necessary for understanding health and then present the points necessary for determining good health and for the role of each individual in issues concerning health. In conclusion, I would like to define health as a state of physical, mental and social well-being necessary for people to achieve self-achievement and happiness while living in society. Health is an attitude, and the very process of striving to achieve good health is itself "good health". In addition, altruism is fundamental to good health. The spirit of respect and empathy for not only humans health but also "planetary health" is important.
