What is Healthy Living?

Definitions
In 1946 the World Health Organization defined health as ‘A complete state of mental, physical and social well-being not merely the absence of disease’.

Wikipedia defines a lifestyle as the way a person lives. This includes patterns of social relations, consumption, entertainment, and dress. A lifestyle typically also reflects an individual’s attitudes, values or worldview. A healthy lifestyle is generally characterized as a “balanced life” in which one makes “wise choices”. Or as “the aggregation of decisions by individuals which affect their life, and over which they have control. “

Most healthcare professionals and advocates define a healthy lifestyle as; acting in a way that positively affects your physical, spiritual and mental well-being including; getting enough sleep, practicing mindfulness, managing stress, keeping mind and body fit and connecting socially.

Our definition of Healthy Living

We consider Healthy Living to be steps, actions and strategies you can put in place to achieve optimum health. A healthy lifestyle isn’t just diet and exercise. It’s about taking responsibility for your decisions and making smart choices that affect your overall wellness now and in the future.

Starting to live a healthy life is about finding balance and embracing the health and wellness practices that work for you. Most importantly, healthy living means listening to what our bodies, minds and spirits need and responding in a way that feels good. Having balance in all aspects of one’s self must work in harmony to achieve true wellness.
