Wellness

What is wellness?

The concept of wellness is that by being proactive about your health, you can enjoy a better quality of life and significantly reduce your risk of developing a serious health condition.

Most major causes of morbidity and mortality are either wholly or at least partially preventable, for example, type 2 diabetes, some cancers, and heart disease.

If you take steps to improve your well-being in every aspect, you’re far less likely to experience health problems in the future.

How do I apply wellness in my life?

Many of the most significant ways in which you can apply wellness are actions that you’re probably familiar with but may have had trouble following in your own busy life. Key areas that form the foundation of wellness are:

Diet and exercise

Eating a varied diet that’s full of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is the most fundamental change you can make. Good food is as powerful as medication in many respects, so eating healthy foodstuffs can do wonders for your overall health and well-being. Keeping your body physically fit also makes a tremendous contribution to health and mental wellness.

Dealing with stress the right way

You can’t avoid stress altogether, and a degree of stress is no bad thing – it can improve your performance at key moments, and keep you mentally sharp. However, if stress becomes a chronic condition, it can cause not only mental distress but physical health problems as well.

Learning to relax and make time for yourself, diverting your mind, and trying activities like mindfulness, meditation or yoga can all help ease stress positively. On the other hand, using alcohol, tobacco, or illegal drugs to relieve stress is counterproductive and causes serious health problems.
