Healthsplaining

When someone who is not a medical professional explains to you that they understand your health better than you do.
I was talking to my brother about my chronic illness the other day, and he started healthsplaining to me, telling me how I need to eat healthier and exercise more to become healthy.

healthification 

A word made up by the CEO of a large corporation to entice employees into performing a health risk assessment. A way to stratify premiums for crappy health insurance offered to employees.
Hey Rodney, you think I should get involved in the healthification program?

Probably not Dave, they found out I was a fat ass and jacked up my insurance premiums. Also the name of that program itself sounds retarded .

healthsticks 

Another friendly euphemism for cigarettes or any kind of smokable drug wrapped in a form of a stick made known inside small communities and cliques.

2. Don't assume that all diabetics have terrible diets--that's healthist.

(v) The act of attaching an aspect of "health" to a food that would never be considered healthy.
They healthify chips these days because a lot of chips have no trans fat and 35% more fiber.
