Health and Wellness

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” In other words, your health is about much more than physical ailments — it's about emotional and social fitness, too.

On the other hand, wellness is the “active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life. A dynamic process of change and growth.” The two concepts are not opposites, but rather go hand in hand in one’s quest toward complete well-being. We can’t always choose the state of our health. High cholesterol and blood pressure are largely genetic. People are born with heart disease and a predisposition toward diabetes. Accidents cause injuries that last a lifetime.

Wellness is a way for us to actively work toward better health. A way to take some control of our bodies and minds. Even though none of us will ever be in “perfect” health, making a conscious effort to improve our wellness can make us feel better.

 

 

  • But wellness, on the other hand, is a choice.
  • We can choose to exercise regularly to manage our health conditions (where possible).
  • We can choose to quit smoking and to take our medications as prescribed.
  • We can see a therapist when our mental state needs some assistance.
