Sažetak
Why this title? After reflecting on what all humans have in common, this essay was created as an answer. I believe that everyone should be more responsible and care more about health, both as individuals and as a society as a whole. This was also the topic of a lecture I gave at the opening of the Faculty of Medicine in Mostar in 1997. The aim of this essay is to describe the components of health as essential prerequisites for all progress, well-being, and a better, longer, and happier life. This allows readers who already know enough about health to review and reinforce their knowledge. For others, it serves as an educational tool about the complexity of the human body, the mutual communication, and the functional connection of all organs within the human organism, which work together to maintain stability, health, and life. Learning about health is important. I hope this article will help everyone, with greater knowledge about health, to find enough meaning in all situations that justifies life on this beautiful planet of ours. The purpose of introducing health is described through seven components, which, like pillars, support health, prevent the onset and development of diseases, and contribute to faster recovery as well as a better and longer lifespan.
