5 Factors of Health. Are you in Balance?

Achieving a high level of wellness requires constant balance and maintenance of certain components:

• Spiritual -- the belief in some force that unites human beings.
• Social -- the ability to interact successfully with people and one's personal environment.
• Emotional -- the ability to control stress and to express emotions appropriately and comfortably.
• Intellectual -- the ability to learn and use information effectively for personal, family, and career development.
• Physical -- the ability to carry out daily tasks, develop cardiovascular fitness, muscular fitness, maintain adequate nutrition and proper body fat level, and avoid abusing drugs and alcohol or using tobacco products.

"Good Health" is best achieved by balancing each of these areas of wellness. If you are out of balance in any of these areas the others may struggle.

More posts will be discussed for each of these areas of health throughout this blog.
