Physical exam: It varies but usually physical exam consists of a few measurements such as bp, weight, height, and so on etc, that provides the basis for physical health. However, physical health is an individual metric, and there are variations in normal ranges and values that comprise what make up good physical health metric for individuals, and that may go into holistic, non-quantitative parameters as well.

A gift from God: As opposed to mental, spiritual or emotional health, physical health is the overall condition of a living organism at a given time. It is the soundness of the body, freedom from disease or abnormality, and the condition of optimal well-being. It is when the body is functioning as it was designed to function.
