What is Wellness? “ The condition of good physical and mental health, especially when maintained by proper diet, exercise and habits.”–American Heritage Dictionary “Wellness is about waking up every morning and having enough time, energy and freedom to live the life you want.” The Keys to Optimum Wellness 1 – Balance Your Diet You need to get enough of the right foods including colourful fruits and vegetables, protein, good carbohydrates and just enough good fats for the taste you want. You also need vitamins, minerals and fibre from dietary supplements to provide the nutrition missing from your diet that your cells need for good health. 2 – Exercise Regularly Regular exercise can help you feel and look your best. Exercise conditions your heart and relieves stress and makes it easier to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight. 3 – Drink Lots of Water Your body is about two-thirds water. In an average day, you lose at least one pint of water even without excessive sweating. To feel your best, you should drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day.
