1. The
fundamentals of Wellness
Fortunately
Wellness is a concept that is becoming more and more the subject of
conversation, so much so that you hear it defined as "a lifestyle that
focuses on physical and mental well-being." Being fully aware of what it
really consists of is not as easy. Let's take a look.
Physical activity and exercise
Even if "physical activity" and "exercise" are two different concepts,
both are the most fundamental aspects of Wellness. Without them, we
cannot talk about physical and mental well-being.
In the "World Health Report" recently, a report on the state of health
on the planet, the World Health Organization pointed its finger at
sedentary lifestyle as a leading risk factor for heart disease or other
serious illnesses such as diabetes and even certain types of cancer.
"Move for Health" is the significant slogan WHO chose in 2003 to promote
moderate yet constant physical activity as a natural medicine to help
ensure good health and long life.
Even nutritionists in their recent diet pyramids finally point out how
important an active lifestyle is for the overall good health of the
individual.
Diet
In the "World Health Report 2006" stresses the fact that chances of
disease are even higher if physical inactivity is combined with a bad
diet and brings about other serious problems such as obesity,
hypertension and high cholesterol.
This is why Wellness is also based on a complete and well-balanced diet.
Our organism needs a balance of all the main nutrients to be healthy -
carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and water. In order to
know how to nourish ourselves in a healthy manner it is essential to
know the quality and quantity of foods we eat rather than simply
calculating the amount of calories.
Lifestyle
A few hours of physical activity and exercise each week cannot achieve
total Wellness if combined with drinking too much alcohol, smoking, or
not having enough sleep.
Regular physical activity and exercise are a great help to correct these
bad habits and adopting a healthier lifestyle will make you more
effective in our daily life.
Relationship with others
Achieving a state of effectiveness and full emotional stability is an
important part of the Wellness philosophy. Feeling good about yourself
is the first step to peace of mind and good relationships with others.
Building up and keeping real relationships of friendship and love can
only unleash positive energy that brings us self-satisfaction and
happiness.
