Modern medicine is very detailed in it’s knowledge of human physiology and pathology. Nevertheless, the state of good health has yet to be defined.

I found an interesting articles by Dr. Hai-Sha Ni where he mentioned the 6 criterias which defines the state of healthy individual.

These criterias seem deceptively simple , but they are based on profound theory.

Just as Einstein’s most famous equation e=mc2 appears very simple, it also began as a complex theory which was greatly simplified to the immortalized equation.

The same holds true for these 6 criteria which are as follows:

1. A Normal Appetite
The feeling of hunger is normal at meal times. The ability to taste is normal. The proper amount of food is consumed.

2. Bowel Movement Once A Day
Ideally, once a day in the morning. The texture of the stools should be firm and long. The color should be brown. The feeling of having adequately emptied the bowels is necessary.

3. Proper Urination
5 to 7 times daily. (Less if one is working strenusosly). The color should be pale yellow. An adequate amount of urine and force to expel the urine is necessary.

4. Proper Sleep Pattern
This means the ability to sleep through the night without waking up. Also, one should feel adequatrely rested upon rising.

5. The Face Feels Cold, The Four Limbs Feel Warm
The face should feel comfortable and cold, not hot. The backs of the hands and feet should feel cold, while the palms and soles should feel warm.

6. Male / Female Erection
This is generally not discussed among people, but it is important and included in the 6 criterias. Upon rising in the morning, males should have a penile erection. Females should have firm nipples.
