Its More Than That!

If you ask anyone what it means to be healthy, you will hear answers like: eat fruits and vegetables, exercise three days per week etc. Even though these answers are helpful practices in living a healthy life, on their own, they are simply not enough. The World Health Organization defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. What does that mean? It means, health includes every facet of the human as a whole. So even though regular exercise and a balanced diet are very important, the other aspects that make up our being must be equally considered.

A human being consists of the mind, body and spirit. Each of these aspects work in synergy to make us complete and whole beings. Therefore, in order for us to be completely or holistically healthy all three facets of our being require care. We can’t focus on one and neglect the other. All must be nourished. Let's consider feeding all three areas of our lives instead of just one.

Bringing the light to your view on health!
