Health is the level of functional and metabolic efficiency of a living organism.

In humans it is the ability of individuals or communities to adapt and self-manage when facing physical, mental or social changes.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in its 1948 constitution as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." This definition has been subject to controversy, in particular as lacking operational value, the ambiguity in developing cohesive health strategies, and because of the problem created by use of the word "complete".

Other definitions have been proposed, among which a recent definition that correlates health and personal satisfaction.

Alternative medicine or fringe medicine are practices claimed to have the healing effects of medicine but which are disproven, unproven, or impossible to prove, or are excessively harmful in relation to their effect; and where the scientific consensus is that the therapy does not, or can not, work because the known laws of nature are violated by its basic claims; or where it is considered so much worse than conventional treatment that it would be unethical to offer as treatment.

Alternative therapies or diagnoses are not part of medicine or science-based healthcare systems.

Alternative medicine consists of a wide variety of practices, products, and therapies—ranging from those that are biologically plausible but not well tested, to those with known harmful and toxic effects.

Contrary to popular belief, significant expense is paid to test alternative medicine, including over $2.5 billion spent by the United States government.

Almost none show any effect beyond that of false treatment.

Perceived effects of alternative medicine may be caused by placebo; decreased effect of functional treatment (and therefore potentially decreased side effects); and regression toward the mean where improvement that would have occurred anyway is credited to alternative therapies; or any combination of the above.

Alternative treatments are neither the same as experimental medicine, nor traditional medicine — although the latter, when used today may be considered alternative.

A recipe is a set of instructions that describes how to prepare or make something, especially a culinary dish.

It is also used in medicine or in information technology (user acceptance).

A doctor will usually begin a prescription with recipe, Latin for take, usually abbreviated to Rx or an equivalent symbol.

Natural foods and all natural foods are widely used terms in food labeling and marketing with a variety of definitions, most of which are vague.

The term is often assumed to imply foods that are minimally processed and whose ingredients are all natural products (in the chemist's sense of that term), thus conveying an appeal to nature.

But the lack of standards in most jurisdictions means that the term assures nothing.

In some countries, the term “natural” is defined and enforced.

In others, such as the United States, it is not enforced.
