How is health work? what makes it go up and down? is the different rates of health decline? does anything come up?

When your hunger and thirst are green, your health stays about the same, when they turn other colors, the health loss accelerates. There is no way to gain health that I know of.

nope, health can be regained... being well fed and not thirsty currently restores health quite rapidly.

it gets a little more complicated than that..
as well as their current health, all characters have a max potential health - no matter how well looked after they are, their health will never get above this level.
'Max potential health' decreases with age, and is also affected by other factors (e.g. if your character is ever left without food or drink for any long period of time, health will decrease quickly but your max potential health is also affected (more subtly)).
Some foodstuffs can have also have a slight negative impact on max health. (Though, right now, the effect of that will be pretty minimal.. will be tweaked later on to encourage a broader diet :] ).

I died yesterday, and respawned... but now it seems i'm not gaining hunger or thirst. I dont know if Mit is doing this on purpose or not. Is anybody else having the same issue?
