Dr. Pam Popper:
We've come to define health as the absence of illness. In other words, whatever I'm doing, (cheeseburger, fries, cigarettes, and a bottle of wine at night), as long as I haven't been diagnosed with anything, I'm okay. Well, the definition of health is not, you're not diagnosed with something. It's, what are your behaviors? Because, that's going to define your health as you age. Your behaviors, not are you sick or diagnosed with something now.
