THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEALTH & WELLNESS
You’ve most likely read about the importance of maintaining your health and wellness. However, health and wellness are two different things! Being in good health can be described as the absence of physical diseases or illnesses as well as mental and emotional issues such as anxiety and depression. Your overall health pertains to your physical body and how effectively it functions—or does not. Nutrition and exercise determine how healthy you are and how likely you are to develop acute or chronic illnesses. Factors such as genetics (having a family history of diabetes, weight gain, or other conditions) can also affect your health – you may be predisposed to some conditions more than others. Focusing on your overall well-being, in particular, can help you maintain good health for the rest of your life! For example, you may be physically fit and disease-free, but your emotional health is deteriorating. “Wellness” refers to a healthy lifestyle that promotes happiness and satisfaction. Being “well” does not depend on your health or your conditions. Wellness focuses on continually seeking balance in all aspects of your life, including your body, career, relationships, emotional well-being, and so much more! Your health and wellness work together to help you achieve a high level of well-being.
Working on getting your health and wellness in line together should be a high priority for you. Monitoring what you’re eating daily, how much sleep you’re getting, what your hobbies and interests are, and how much exercise you participate in can help you to stay healthy and keep a pulse on your well-being.
