“There is no such thing as “100% health.” Understanding the “non-diet” approach, means understanding “health” on a spectrum basis, and rejecting over-simplified, dualistic (aka “black” and “white”) interpretations of health in our culture.
In reality, there is no such thing as “100% health” or “100% un-health;” on the contrary—we are constantly bouncing around between these imaginary endpoints, falling on different points on different days, depending on a million factors.
The word “spectrum,” in fact, may itself be misleading, as health (and health choices) do not fall on one two-dimensional line, but rather, on a multidimensional matrix—a collage of intersecting realms of “health” (e.g. physical health, emotional health, and evermore subsections beyond them).
In essence, “health” is not binary—
it is not something we “do” or “don’t do,”
it is not something we “have” or “don’t have,”
and it is certainly not something at which we can “fail” or “succeed.”Health is an ebbing, flowing, living web of choices and experiences, that we navigate differently from day to day, depending on our ever-changing priorities, environment, and personal circumstances.”

“Pitting edema can be demonstrated by applying pressure to the swollen area by depressing the skin with a finger. If the pressing causes an indentation that persists for some time after the release of the pressure, the edema is referred to aspitting edema.” (courtesy MedicineNet)
