Overall Health
Overall health and well-being starts
from the inside out. Begin by providing
your body with the nutrients it needs
to work properly. You will have more
energy and feel better every single day
that you eat healthy, nutritious foods,
drink plenty of water, and get in some
exercise. While physical wellness is
crucial for a healthy life, it is important
not to overlook mental wellness. This
includes emotional, psychological,
and social well-being. Mental health is
important throughout all stages of life,
from childhood to adulthood. While
good physical health directly affects
mental health, you should care for your
mental health in different ways.
• Love yourself and treat yourself with
kindness and respect.
• Surround yourself with people who
make you happy.
• Meditate and/or pray to provide
yourself with time to silently reflect
on all of the positive aspects of life.
• Try something new to break away
from the daily grind.
• Get help when you feel like you
cannot help yourself. ■
