About

The word 健康 is formed by combining two distinct but complementary characters: 健, which conveys the idea of physical strength, vitality, and robustness, and 康, which conveys the idea of peace, ease, and overall well-being. Together, they merge the concepts of vigorous physical fitness and a state of harmonious, trouble-free wellness to create a single, holistic concept of "health" that encompasses both the body's strength and a person's general state of comfort and soundness.
