Topic: Wellness
Being in a state of wellness means to me that you are free of disease, eat nutritious food, exercise almost daily, are a normal weight, manage stress and live a vibrant lifestyle.
Sometimes I get the feeling that the medical community views wellness as a state of not being sick YET. Health screenings or medical tests, seem to be monitoring devices to see if you have succumbed to illness YET, and if necessary, start on the path of prescription drugs.
Now don't get me wrong. I think it is very important to know "your numbers," like cholesterol levels, blood pressure and glucose level. Medical tests like mammography and bone density are good to have.
But I feel wellness means the focus should be on leading a healthy lifestyle with natural health methods instead of waiting to see if you have developed a disease YET.
