DESCRIPTION:Living a healthy life is desired\, and it is believed that he
 alth must be taken into consideration for degrowth. Pursuing health does
  not necessarily contribute to degrowth\, though. Previous research on d
 egrowth\, health\, and healthcare have noted that a transition is requir
 ed in the healthcare system. Pursuing ideal health is a type of growth p
 aradigm because we can never be fully healthy and instead get worse as w
 e age. On the other hand\, our health is negatively impacted by a societ
 y that is focused on growth. In a capitalist growth society\, unstable w
 orking conditions\, long hours\, and highly demanding labor not only hav
 e a detrimental impact on health\, but also privatize care for health. A
 dditionally\, the pursuit of complete health is a growth-oriented activi
 ty. As time passes\, the healthcare industry expands under the pretense 
 of improving health. High-tech is now used more frequently in healthcare
  than ever before. This entire process is generating economic growth and
  profits.\nThe individualization of health is the foundation of this hea
 lth growthism. However\, health extends beyond personal dimension. Since
  we all share the same political\, economic\, and social determinants of
  health\, such as food\, housing\, and working conditions\, our health i
 s intertwined with one another. In this approach\, health itself is a co
 mmons\, in contrast to earlier studies about health commons that focused
  on healthcare services. Consideration of health as a commons and a targ
 et for care is beneficial for degrowth. \n
