Wellness of the body occurs when
all the body processes, physical and mental are functioning as the
To evaluate
our state of wellness, we must establish the goals we achieve through being
well. We make our lives more enriched
and easier to live. We are able to reap the benefits of well thought out plans
of diet and exercise many years into our life, just because we have taken the
time to remain well and fit.
Your immune system is a tale tell
sign of your state of wellness and one of the real benefits of a healthy, well
immune system is the prolonging of the onset of many age-related diseases. Conditions such as macular degeneration,
Alzheimer’s, strokes, heart attacks, and overall feelings of good health depend
upon a healthy immune system.
Our ability
to continue in a normal routine many years past the accepted age of retirement
is a goal achieved through maintaining a state of wellness. To many older people, their work becomes a
genuine source of enjoyment. Work no
longer appears as the thief of our free time, it becomes an old friend that we
are accustomed to visiting with. It can
become a reason to continue to get up and go about our day. Either way, our ability to continue
participating is a direct benefit of our state of wellness and continued good
health.
In
evaluating our wellness goals, and state of being, the mental capacity for
continued learning, teaching, and experiencing is a top priority. Mental sharpness comes from continued use of
the mind to learn, communicate and think.
The benefit of retaining those resources is felt even longer than the
benefit of physical wellness.
What about the physical benefits of continued wellness? The peace of mind that comes from knowing
your body is in top shape, ready to deal whatever comes along, is a priceless
possession. To be able to ascertain that
you’ve spent your day wisely, and invested in yourself is a real
accomplishment. The benefit seen from
adding just 20 minutes of exercise to your daily routine are unbelievable. I can attest to the tremendous increase in
energy, as a participant in walking for exercise. I lost a total of 74 lbs. in one year, by
simply adding walking to may routine. I
had been dieting for almost two months, with very little in the way of
results. Walking was suggested by my
physician, and I’ve never been so impressed.
My energy levels were three times what they were prior to beginning the
exercise program. Increased energy
levels are one of the greatest benefits of a well and fit body.
Continued wellness and evaluation of our level of wellness
is a lifetime responsibility.
If we use our resources wisely and educate our selves
about the things our body needs to maintain wellness, over the duration of our
life, it isn’t a difficult thing to attain. The benefits of continued wellness
are reaped will into our later years.
Look at it as an investment you make, not of dollars and cents, but of
time and education. The return on your
investment is as yet unmatched by any prescription
