Wellness of the Body
Wellness refers to the condition of good physical and mental
health, especially when maintained by proper diet, exercise, and
habits. Nutrition refers to the nurturing of our body, in our
ability to keep it healthy and functioning as it is supposed to
do. Our ability to provide the body with all the necessary food,
vitamins, and minerals so that we continue to thrive in our
daily life processes
Wellness of the body occurs when all the body processes,
physical and mental are functioning as the peak levels. What
does it take to achieve a complete body wellness? It requires
more than simply taking a trip to the gym, or a walk in the
park.
Many factors come into play when we consider our body's
wellness. The daily intake of food, vitamins, and water are
absolute necessities, and most often the items thought about.
What about the conditioning of our body to deal with life each
day? Does our physical exercise have anything to do with the
wellness of our body? Absolutely.
For one condition without regard to the other, is not a
complete whole. The body includes all of our physical processes,
our mind, and our physical being as a whole. When we give
thought to the wellness of the body, most often we contemplate
our physical condition as it applies to our cardiovascular needs
and our weight. But our bodies are much more than heart and a
nice figure. What about all of our other organs? Are they well?
How do we maintain a wellness of the entirety? Daily physical
exercise that benefits the body as a whole, taking time to rest
and restore what has been
depleted from our body over the course
of the day, and making sure that we adequately supply our entire
body with the nutrition necessary for healthy function.
If we use our resources wisely and educate our selves about
the things our body needs to maintain wellness, over the course
of our life, it isn't a difficult thing to attain. But you
cannot abuse your body for years, and then hope for immediate
results in trying to attain an overall wellness. It didn't
become unwell overnight, and it won't become well again that
quickly.
Proper attention to the physical needs of each part of your
body results in the wellness of the whole. Every part of your
physical body exists to work in unison with another part of the
body. Two hands are necessary for optimal functioning of the
limbs, two feet, two eyes, etc. The physical body is designed to
work better than any machine invented to date. It is more
complex and powerful than any piece of equipment we have on the
market.
It takes more abuse than believable, and continues to operate,
even without the daily requirements being met, for several days.
It is a fascinating machine, as machines go. But it is an even
more fascinating temple, when we choose to care for our bodies
as the temples they really are. They house our mind and soul,
and when the body is well, it does a tremendous job of providing
for our needs.
