What Are Your Wellness Needs?
As we go about our busy lives, our wellness needs doesn't often
come to mind. In fact, probably until you read the title of this
article, it never even crossed your mind. But even when we are
well, we have needs that help us to sustain that wellness. Have
you ever given thought to what those needs are?
Your wellness rating is dependent upon your immune system, and
what vitamins, supplements, and nutrition you provide for your
immune system. Nutrition comes in the form of our daily intake
of food our eating habits determine the value of our daily
nutritional intake. What about vitamins? What role do vitamins
and minerals play in our wellness needs? More than what some of
you have been lead to believe or understand. The body's ability
to remain well under anything other than ideal conditions is a
direct result of the nutrition received on a daily basis. The
mind's ability to remain well is, again, a direct result of our
nutritional intake.
However, when you use sound principles based on clean living,
exercise, and healthy eating, you attain a state of equilibrium
where you are meeting your nutritional wellness needs
What about our preventive needs for our physical body?
Alternative medicine, holistic medicine, and meditation all
address different areas of preventive maintenance for our
physical health. We don't often think of the chiropractor until
some part of our body isn't functioning as it should, most often
our back. But what about chiropractic care for the well
individual? Is it a benefit to the well person, to visit a
chiropractor when really nothing is wrong? You bet it's a
benefit and here's why.
The very nature of chiropractic care is the belief in the
body's own healing properties. Quite often, we can have small
problems in one area of our body, and not even realize it
until
the effect is felt in a much larger way, somewhere else. The
practice of chiropractic care focuses on the relationship
between your spine and your nervous system. The spine is the
structure, and the nervous system is the function. Chiropractic
believes these two systems work in unison to keep and then
restore your body's health.
Acupuncture is the basic foundation for Traditional Chinese
Medicine and is based on the belief that there are two opposing
and inseparable forces within our body. They are known as the
Yin and Yang of the entire person. The Yin is representative of
the cold, slow, or passive principle, and yang represents the
hot, excited or active principle. A healthy state is achieved by
maintaining a balance state of the yin and yang. This is done
through vital pathways or meridians that allow for the flow of
qi, or vital energy.
The vital energy flow occurs along pathways known as meridians.
These meridians connect over 2,000 acupuncture points along the
body. There are 12 main meridians, and 8 secondary meridians.
Although traditional western medicine does not completely
understand how acupuncture works, the proof that it does work
has been shown in several studies conducted by western medical
facilities.
Meditation is the other form of preventive maintenance that we
need as we maintain our overall wellness. Meditation is
preventive maintenance for the mind. Meditation gives us the
opportunity to reflect on our inner self. To listen to that
small inner voice that is supposed to help guide and direct our
mental processes, but in modern day existence, is often drowned
out due to excessive noise pollution.
