What is wellness ?

I read an article this morning during my breakfast on wellness.  It was beautifully written in simple words.   Wellness is eat well, move well and sleep well.  If you can do these three simple things, you will have an eternal youthfulness which is more than skin deep.

What do we mean by eat well?  It had been for thousands of years in China where the Emperors eat the best food for good health and longevity.  They believe that you are what you eat.  A balanced diet with all the nourishing herbs would improve your wellness. Nowadays, with the advance in technology and new findings, it has been converted in pills and tablets  with vitamin A to Z  and multi-vits ,etc which is very convenient and cheap for us to have the similar effect.  We can also live like the Emperors of the past.

What do we mean by move well ?  It is just the proper exercise . Simple walking, yoga , bicycling , Spa, massage, Tai Chi , meditation,  Qigong, etc.  We are free of pains in our joints and we can move well without aids , then that is wellness in movement.  Moderate and our regular exercise in our daily routine can have marvelous help to our movement of our joints and other parts of the body.

What do we mean by sleep well ?  Sleep is a way of letting our body repair the wounds in our daily lives.  Good sleep not only relax and help our body recuperate  but a healthy body promote a healthy mind and the evolutions between these two factor will compliment each other and give us a healthy body and a healthy mind and in reverse, a healthy mind gives us a healthy body.

All well ends well.  These are three  simple ways which make us less stressful and will promote a youthful look which goes beyond skin deep.

Namaste.
