Physical

Maintain your health and get things done

Good physical health habits through nutrition, exercise, and appropriate health care make up the physical dimension of wellness.

Physical wellness promotes proper care of our bodies for optimal health and functioning. It encourages the balance of physical activity, nutrition and mental well-being to keep your body in top condition.

As you become conscious of your physical health, you are able to identify elements you are successful in as well as elements you would like to improve.

How To Improve Physical Wellness:

• Exercise or engage in physical activity for 30 minutes each day

• Use stairs instead of the elevator or escalator

• Recognize signs when your body begins feeling ill

• Eat variations of wholesome, healthy foods

• Control your meal portions

• Try to sleep between 7-9 hours each night

An inspiring quote comes from the president/CEO of Complete Care Strategies, Beverly Bernstein Joie, who said, "When the priority is to live well and manage chronic diseases, the choice for a healthy lifestyle is what we can control about our own future. What often gets in the way is ourselves."
