Normal does not mean: healthy; only a statement of assumed/observed frequency, how common/uncommon. This is a huge issue. Medical industry defines normal: average to include the central ~96% of the entire range of any variable; thus average to include nearly everything. But what does this have to do with excellence of health? Nothing; only frequency. Nl for 1 may be very abnormal for another. Go for abnormally healthy.
