Springtime by Émile Vernon, an artistic depiction of seasonal vitality

Vitality (from Middle French vitalité, from Latin vītālitās, from Latin vīta ‘life’) is the capacity to live, grow, or develop. More simply it is the property of having life.^[1] The perception of vitality is regarded as a basic psychological drive and, in philosophy, a component to the will to live. As such, people seek to maximize their vitality or their experience of vitality—that which corresponds to an enhanced physiological capacity and mental state.^[2]

Overview[edit]

The pursuit and maintenance of health and vitality have been at the forefront of medicine and natural philosophy throughout history.^[3] Life depends upon various biological processes known as vital processes. As such, vitality is also the characteristic distinction of living from non-living things.^[4]
Historically, these vital processes have been viewed as having either mechanistic or non-mechanistic causes. The latter of which is characteristic of vitalism, the doctrine that the phenomena of life cannot be explained by purely chemical and physical mechanisms.^[5]

Prior to the 19th century, theoreticians often held that human lifespan had been less limited in the past, and that aging was due to a loss of, and failure to maintain, vitality.^[6]
A commonly held view was that people are born with finite vitality, which diminishes over time until illness and debility set in, and finally death.^[7]

Religion[edit]

In traditional cultures, the capacity for life is often directly equated with the soul or breath.^[8] This can be found in the Hindu concept prana, where vitality in the body derives from a subtle principle in the air and in food,^[9] as well as in Hebrew and ancient Greek texts.^[8]

Jainism[edit]

According to Jainism, there are ten vitalities or life-principles:

The five senses (touch, taste, smell, sight, hearing)
Energy
Respiration
Life-duration
The organ of speech
The mind

According to major Jain text, Tattvarthsutra: «The severance of vitalities out of passion is injury».
Because life is to be considered sacred and in every living thing, Jains avoid killing any living creature. They are not only vegetarian, but decline to eat vegetables that grow under the ground because each underground stem contains infinite number of vitalities each of that can potentially grow into full-fledged plants.
The table below summarizes the vitalities that living beings possess in accordance with their senses:^[10]

Senses	Number of vitalities	Vitalities
One sense	Four	Sense organ of touch, strength of body or energy, respiration, and life-duration.
Two sense	Six	The sense of taste and the organ of speech in addition to the former four.
Three sense	Seven	The sense of smell in addition to the former six.
Four sense	Eight	The sense of sight in addition to the former seven.
Five-sensed beings	Nine	The sense of hearing in addition to the former eight.
Ten	Mind in addition to the above-mentioned nine vitalities.

Vitality and DNA damage[edit]

Low vitality or fatigue is a common complaint by older patients during their visits to a physician.^[11] Low vitality is increasingly seen as an early indicator of frailty and may reflect an underlying medical illness.^[11] Vitality level was measured in 2,487 Copenhagen patients using a standardized, subjective, self-reported vitality scale and was found to be inversely related to DNA damage (as measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells).^[11] DNA damage is indicative of cellular disfunction.

According to this widely accepted model, at birth an individual was endowed with a finite amount of vitality. During childhood, the body used this vital energy for growth and activity. By adulthood, it did well to maintain its supply. With old age, however, the amount of vital energy was clearly in decline. The obvious result was the elderly individual’s tendency toward increasing illness and general debility.

Vitality

full of beans Lively, energetic; full of vim, vigor, and vitality. Popular since the mid-1800s, this expression was originally stable slang. It was used in reference to spirited, bean-fed horses.

live wire A spry, energetic person. This expression, derived from the jumping and sparking of a fallen power line, enjoys common usage in the United States.

He was, if anyone was, the live wire of the Senior Common Room. (J. C. Masterman, To Teach Senators Wisdom, 1952)

rough-and-ready Exhibiting vigor and vitality which, though unrefined and perhaps indelicate, is appropriate for dealing with a given situation; crudely efficient; rough in manner, but prompt and effective in action. Though it has been suggested that this phrase may allude to Colonel Rough, a soldier under the Duke of Wellington at Waterloo, supporting evidence for this allegation is sketchy at best. It is more likely that rough-and-ready arose as a description of one’s manner or style, its implications being obvious.

The rough-and-ready style which belongs to a people of sailors, foresters, farmers and mechanics. (Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Conduct of Life, 1860)

“Old Rough and Ready” was a nickname given to General Zachary Taylor (1784-1850) for his conduct during the Seminole and the Mexican Wars in the early 1800s. Supporters of Taylor’s campaign and presidency (1849-50) were known as the “Rough and Ready Boys.”
