I would like to introduce to you The 5 Pillars of Health. Incorporating and improving these 5 major components of health into your lifestyle could dramatically improve your health and unlock your true potential. What I mean by "your potential" is your body's ability to function, heal and operate at 100%. This is part 1 of a 6 part blog series where I will cover in detail each important pillar of health.
There are so many aspects of health, but I have chosen to focus on five components that have a significant influence on whole-body wellness. The definition of HEALTH is a complete state of physical, emotional, and social well being and not merely the absence of disease. (WHO- World Health Organization) This definition is so true and very descriptive. It includes whole-body wellness incorporating the biopsychosocial model and explains that even if you feel good and have no disease or medical condition, it doesn't necessarily mean you are "healthy".
The five pillars of health are: Exercise, Nutrition, Proper Sleep, A Positive Mental Attitude, and A Properly Functioning Nervous System. Again I will touch on each topic in some more detail in the next several blog posts. If you have any specific questions, you may leave a comment and I will try to respond to them in the blog post. If you can have a good balance of each component of health, you will certainly make a big impact on how you feel and function.
Stay tuned for Part 2 where I will discuss with you our first pillar...exercise.
May you be TOUCHED, MOVED and INSPIRED!
