What Does It Mean To Be Healthy?

As you may already know, being Physically fit is not the sole basis of being healthy. Although we are great encouragers of physical health, being totally healthy also means being mentally, spiritually, socially, financially, and emotionally fit. Living a healthy lifestyle in all of these areas can help prevent chronic diseases and long-term illnesses that are caused by stress and your everyday living environment. Feeling good about yourself and taking care of your health are also important for your self-esteem and self-image. Therefore, maintaining a healthy lifestyle by doing what is best for you and your overall wellbeing is vital. Our mission is to help you achieve your health goals and realize your full potential. So, be sure to check back with us as we promote and share facts and information that will help you to become the person you were designed to be!

HEALTH FEATURE

Grief is a subjective state of emotional, physical and social responses to the loss of a valued entity. The loss may be relatable (e.g. death of a loved one, or the loss of personal possessions), or it may be perceived by the individual alone, unable to be shared by others or identified by others. However, grief can be expressed by people very differently. Some people do not experience an intense reaction. Most people experience fluctuating reactions for a period of time while others can develop a complex grief reaction.
