Henry is 95 years of age and lives alone since his wife died three years ago. Every morning he gets up, takes a shower, and goes for a walk. He comes home, takes his daily medication, and has a healthy breakfast. He watches a little television, takes an hour-long nap, and then sits in his yard and reads or chats with neighbors as they stroll by. He has lunch, watches sports on television for a while, and then relaxes until dinner time. Sometimes he cooks, and sometimes he goes out to dinner. Before bed he takes his evening medications, brushes his teeth, and goes to sleep. Clearly, Henry's level of ________ health is quite high!
