Health in terms of worth and its role in individual’s life is essential from health education and health promotion perspective. Education of children and youth aims at developing of appropriate attitudes socially desirable including health. Pro-health attitudes embody an evaluative concept of the term health and an emotional charge. If they are moulded properly they let individuals lead a healthy lifestyle. Presented conents focus on axiological clarification of the term health, as existential value that motivates and encourages to a creative action, giving meaning to a human life. What are health as the worth and the value of health? What role in the system of values does the health play in the individual’s life? This paper attempts to answer there questions based on a review of research literature.
