Wellness is more than not being ill!

When was the last time you actively observed yourself being healthy, well and full of vitality? Seems like an odd question. But have you noticed that you only remember being well when you are or have actually been ill? The assumption is if you are not ill, you must be healthy. Wellness is so much more!

When we are young we enjoy 'rude good health'. We may get brief illnesses, but then bounce back and don’t think about it much. As we grow older we become less resilient. Not many people over 35 enjoy continuous good health. Most of us endure a state of low level illness which doesn’t stop us operating but does affect our quality of life.

Optimum health is mostly a do-it-yourself job, based on understanding what your body needs, testing things out and common sense. As we don’t all have identical bodies or living conditions, different solutions are

needed for our body types, temperaments and lifestyles.
