General Wellness

A Natural Way of Improving Your Health.

Wellness is a state beyond the absence of illness but rather aims to optimize well-being.

The term was partly inspired by the preamble to the World Health Organization's 1948 constitution which said: "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." It was initially brought to use in the US by Halbert L. Dunn, M.D. in the 1950s; Dunn was the chief of the National Office of Vital Statistics and discussed "high-level wellness". The term had become accepted as standard usage in the 1990s.

Wellness is the act of practicing healthy habits on a daily basis to attain better physical and mental health outcomes so that instead of just surviving, you're thriving.

To understand the significance of wellness, it's important to understand how it's linked to health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is defined as being "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

Wellness is better than just physical health; it is holistic and multidimensional. It includes six dimensions that contain physical, intellectual, emotional, environmental, social, and spiritual wellness.

Physical: Physical wellness increases physical fitness—by being physically fit, a person would have an enhanced ability to control illness and disorders. Exercise encourages a healthy mind and body. An inactive lifestyle can be avoided by improving physical activity in daily to daily life such as walking, cycling, walking the dog, taking the steps, and hiking. Having good nutrition, eating a balanced diet, drinking sufficient water (eight glasses per day), and getting good sleep increase a person’s physical wellness.

Intellectual: Mental exercise and engagement via learning, problem-solving, and creativity support intellectual wellness and enable a better attitude. Someones who learn new things and challenge their minds can avoid mental health problems.

Emotional: A person with emotional wellness can deal with stressful situations. A person who is aware of their feelings has good self-esteem, and has compassion toward others' feelings would have emotional wellness.

Environmental: Awareness of the role we play in enhancing our natural environment rather than denigrating it and maintaining and living in a healthy physical environment free of risks encourages wellness.

Social: Social circles and support networks are valuable to the overall well-being of someone. Relating, interacting, and contributing to a community, establishing good interpersonal relations, and maintaining long-term relationships with family and friends maintain a person happier and healthier.

Spiritual: Spiritual wellness does not mean religion or faith of a person, but the search for meaning and purpose of human presence. Developing compassion, caring, forgiving, and having a purpose in life help in spiritual wellness. Spiritual wellness can be achieved through meditation, volunteer work, spending time in nature, etc.

On one end, patients with poor health engage the medical fraternity to treat diseases. On the other end, people focus proactively on prevention and maximize their vitality. They adopt lifestyles that enhance health, control disease, and improve their quality of life and a sense of well-being. Wellness is proactive, preventive, and driven by self-responsibility for healthy living.
