What is Wellness?
“ The condition of good physical and mental health,
especially when maintained by proper diet, exercise and
habits.”–American Heritage Dictionary
“Wellness is about waking up every morning
and having enough time, energy
and freedom to live the life you want.”
The Keys to Optimum
Wellness
1 – Balance Your Diet
You need to get enough of the right foods including
colourful fruits and vegetables, protein, good carbohydrates and
just enough good fats for the taste you want. You also need
vitamins, minerals and fibre from dietary supplements to provide
the nutrition missing from your diet that your cells need for
good health.
2 – Exercise Regularly
Regular exercise can help you feel and look your best.
Exercise conditions your heart and relieves stress and makes it
easier to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight.
3 – Drink Lots of Water
Your body is about two-thirds water. In an average day,
you lose at least one pint of water even without excessive
sweating. To feel your best, you should drink 6 to 8 glasses of
water a day
