The health

[Xinfu]

p.58 He talks to me about the weather and of the effects of the swings of pressure on the health,

Why is THE used here? Health is general idea. Do you think it's a printing mistake?

Strangely enough it's correct. Sometimes language is baffling. The use of the in this case is optional with perhaps a slight difference meaning. I think the health implies the health of an individual, and health without the implies health in general.
