1.2.2 Reviewing the research: how people understand ‘health’ Being a contested concept, ‘health’ is constantly being redefined and re-evaluated.

He lives in your body, he is your body. (Nietzsche, 1961 [1883], p. 62) At first glance you might be curious about why we're including a unit on bodies, or rather embodiment – the process or state of living in a body – in relation to social psychology.
