Wellness is not all in the mind - though it certainly helps!
Health is a critical factor in true wellness. If our bodies are miserable and unwell, so are we. We spend so much time at work, eat poor diets, get little useful exercise and generally mistreat our bodies woefully.
Only one hundred years ago, our great grandparents lived to an average age of 68 years. Generally, only the last two years or so were spoiled by bad health.
Today the average life-span has risen to 74 years and our children face the possibility of living to the age of 120. And yet a vast number of people are on chronic medication by the time they reach their early 20's. Medical aid funds tell us that we spend 95% of all the money we spend on healthcare during our entire lives, in the last 5 years!
The question is: IS IT WORTH IT?
Surely it would be more sensible and a GREAT DEAL MORE FUN to do what we can to stay as healthy as we can for as long as we can!?
Scientific research indicates that we CAN make a significant difference to our health (and therefore the quality of life we can enjoy) by eating well. undertaking regular moderate exercise and ensuring that we supplement any vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients our circumstances may be using up.
And of course, ENJOYING the life we have!
