Have you ever stopped to think about how to determine your
current fitness and wellness levels? Does your doctor ask
you each time you visit if you believe yourself to be fit
and well? Probably not. Nor does he likely give you any
method for determining where you're at for yourself.
There are fitness centers everywhere, most staffed with
counselors who can test your fitness level. But what about
your wellness level. Are they one and the same?
The fact is, being fit and being well are totally different
conditions. However, both are essential to maintaining your
health.
Your wellness rating depends on your immune system,
including the vitamins, supplements and nutrition you
intake. It's a fact that people who are fit can sometimes
be unwell, and well people can sometimes be unfit. However,
when you combine the two and use sound principles based on
clean living, exercise and healthy eating, you attain a
state of balance that helps you to maintain both fitness
and wellness.
Many people don't take the time to completely understand
the advantages of being both fit and well. We read and
absorb the information we're given through the media and
health organizations without ever questioning whether we're
receiving the information we really need, or simply what is
profitable for these companies to make available.
Fitness gyms need your monthly fees in order to stay in
business, so they probably have no real concern about the
condition of your immune system. Physical fitness is a
condition of the body alone.
Hospitals and doctors need you as a patient in order to
remain operational. They will tell you that you need to be
fit and well, but often leave out important information
that affect your wellness and, therefore, your ability to
stay fit.
What about diet? What about vitamins? What role does our
daily intake play in our health, wellness and fitness? The
fact is, diet has more influence than you have been led to
believe or understand.
Our body's ability to stay well is directly related to the
nutrition you receive every day. The mind's ability to
remain well is also a direct result of our nutritional
intake.
For example, the human brain doesn't develop well without
the necessary input of protein in our daily diet. No
protein, no intelligence. If there is no intelligence, then
none of the other states can be attained.
Spiritual input is another determining factor when
establishing our wellness level. Spiritual reflection is a
way to cleanse ourselves of the toxins of our daily life.
Wellness encompasses our complete state of being, mind and
health. It's a condition of the whole ... mind, body and
soul.
So, for those who believe they are fit, it's also important
to pay attention to your wellness as well. Finding the
ideal balance is the best way to achieve a long and healthy
life.
