Good Health Is More Than Physical
Ask most people what good health is, and their comments will probably be "free of disease", "lower cholesteral", "weight control", etc. That's the norm, but good health is more that just the physical aspects. Let's look at other considerations.
Mental Health
You or someone you know could be suffering from depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, anger, shyness, or something more drastic. Each of these can be controlled if you know what is happening and seek out qualified help. Sometimes something as simple as good information can "start the ball rolling" in helping yourself or others. But nothing replaces professional help.
Lifestyle
What's your life like? Do you sit in traffic for hours each day building your frustration and stress? Do you need to keep a calender for your and/or your family's activities and events? Do you need to check your business events before you can schedule personal activities? Have you had a vacation lately?
A hectic life can be very detrimental in maintaining your health. Being organized is a begining to maintaining health. Time management is also very important since lack of time increases stress, anger, and weight because it's quick to substitute fast food for a proper, well balanced meal. Again, good information starts to improve your lifestyle.
Environment
How's the air quality where you live? Do you live near a busy freeway with high noise and bad gas fumes? Do you live near a factory, a utility producer, or a refinery which really messes up the air quality?
How about your home? Is it free from pollutents? Do you use environmentally friendly cleaners? Are you conserving on energy? Do you use "farm fresh" or organic foods? Do you recycle?
How about your car? Is your muffler OK? Are the tires at proper pressure and not worn? Have you had an oil change lately? Had an engine tune up?
Lots of questions, but the answers are vital. Your health and your budget are inner twined. By doing your part in going green, you will take steps toward improving your health and your budget.
What we are saying is that everything about you, your life, your family, your "world", affects your health. Health is totally encompassing. Once you start to view every aspect of yourself and what is "around", you will have a better understanding of those actions necessary to improve and/or maintain good health.
Your health is your best investment!
