Читать книгу How to Stay Young and Fit No Matter How Old You Get: Anti-Aging Secrets - Sharon J. Scott - Страница 6

In order to stay young, you need to be well. Wellness and health is not the same thing, although they are related.

In order to stay young and to fight aging, you need to be well and that means that your wellness is a factor. Health is your bodily health, and that is what you are your doctor work together on; keeping your weight healthy, ensuring that your blood pressure is okay, that you are disease free and feeling good.

Wellness is a broader term and your health is included in wellness. Wellness is your overall health, your fitness, and how your mind and spirit are. Wellness is how your mind, body and spirit are and to stay young, your wellness matters.

Your body, mind and spirit are all connected and so if one is lacking, then it will affect everything. If your mental health is not healthy, your body and spirit is not healthy. If one is ailing, the others are going to be unwell as well.

Doctors tell us to be fit; we see fitness and health information all over but having a healthy body is only a piece of the puzzle. Your health is something that can be measured but your wellness is more subjective.

In other words, only you can diagnose the state of your own wellness. You can test your fitness level at the gym but your wellness level has no such test.

To help keep yourself young, you need to be well, not just healthy and fit. Your wellness matters and since you are the only one who can judge how well you really are, you need to start paying attention.

Your life is a balance of body, mind and spirit and when they are all balanced, you are well. When they are not balanced, you are unwell.

Because aging affects your mind and body, your wellness helps you stay young because it can help ward off the signs of aging.

Being well is not only good for you in terms of feeling young, but it boosts your health and it boosts your spirits. Being well means that you are happy and who does not want more happiness in their life? Sadly, many people go through life experiencing very little happiness and that is why they are unwell.

As you age, your body is under stress. Stress can cause your mental state to become agitated or even depressed and that in turn affects your spiritual state.

Learning how to keep that balance will help your body be able to resist the stress of aging, and it can help slow down that march of time that so many people dread. The secret to anti-aging is not found in a bottle or via surgery; the secret is that you hold the power of anti-aging already. You just have to learn how to use it.

Your diet, your fitness level and your lifestyle habits all contribute to your wellness. You can eat well, but if your only exercise is to go from the couch to the kitchen and back again, you cannot claim to have a high wellness factor.

If you eat well and work out often but you smoke, drink and are living with chronic stress, you are also unwell. In order to be well, you need to examine your entire lifestyle, your nutritional intake, your health, your fitness level, your mental health and your overall spiritual wellbeing.

If you are constantly going from crisis to crisis in your life, that ages you even faster! Unless you have balance in your life, your aging will be accelerated and that is the opposite of what you want to happen.

The best way to stop the process of aging in its tracks is by focusing on your wellness. Several companies out there want you to believe that they hold the secret to anti-aging in their formulas. If you drink this or take that supplement, the hands of time will reverse; or so they say.

Companies want to make money on people looking for an easy out for beating the aging process. There is no easy out, if you are not willing to make the changes that you need to make to look and feel younger, then this book is not for you.
