"Health and Wellness are the keys to unlock the nation's potential!"

In recent years, we have witnessed people growing more responsible towards their #health and #wellness needs. Especially post-Covid period, people have made sincere efforts to stay healthy and hale.

Before we begin, let us have some trivia time!

Do you know that most of the times we use the terms health and wellness interchangeably, but the two terms do have different meanings. World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as " a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." On the other hand, it defines wellness as an "optimal state of health of individuals and groups."

We all know that looking after our physical and mental well being is important for leading a healthy and productive life. I am sure, not many of us have given a thought on why it is important to acknowledge health and wellness apart from the fact that it is beneficial to us in the long. In this blog post we will discuss the important 5 reasons of why we should acknowledge our health and wellness and the impacts it has on our well-being.

1. Promotes the health and prosperity of the society.

What wonderful gift it would be to bestow upon our coming generation a society that is bursting with health and prosperity! If people we live with, work with and share our lives with would start acknowledging health and wellness then the "society" that we build would be robust, flourishing and thriving. A society of healthy individuals with sound mental state of mind would engage in different community activities that would foster the bond of unity and brotherhood. This would, thus, instill integrity and high moral values into our future generation. Therefore, acknowledging health and wellness at an individual level would pay at community levels by laying a foundation of healthy, strong and vibrant society.

2. Boosts economic status.

3. Promotes emotional intelligence.

As defined by WHO health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not just the mere absence of disease. And if If we look at the current situation around, a number of people, especially population in age-group of 18-50 can be seen grappling with issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, etc. Addressing the importance of mental health and working towards improving it would help promote the emotional intelligence among the people and enable them to deal with difficult situations competently.

As Nelson Mandela quotes, " Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world." Being educated and aware of one's health and wellness help develop habits and practices that are sustainable, eco-friendly and in the good-interest of the global population. Like for instance, a sustainable habit to keep the surroundings clean, importance on cutting down carbon-emission, developing more of green cover, recycle and reuse, turning vegetarian, avoiding plastics and putting in more emphasis on biodegradable alternatives. Thus, with sustainable practices we can save natural resources and economic resources alongside enriching our social resources.

Acknowledging health and wellness should be a ritual. It should be practiced day-in and day-out because consistence is the key! Constantly practicing health and wellness have a tremendous effect on our spiritual growth. It is because when we are in a state of our optimal health and wellbeing, our bodies destress, relax and release good amount of happy chemicals that help cleanse our aura. It leads to a state of inner peace and calmness that help generate positive energy around ourselves. This leads to spiritual upliftment, instills a sense of purpose and helps giving meaning to life. The more we advance in our spiritual growth, the better we are able to control our emotions and refine our approach towards different situations in life.
