The Wellness Approach: Health for Body and Mind

Posted on: January 18th, 2013 by Medi-RentsBlogger No Comments

So, here we are again in a brand new year with all sort of possibility lying before us. As we discussed in a blog post last month, now is one of the easiest times to plan to live healthier in the this year, regardless of your age or health status. A new year deserves a new approach to your health, one based not on fancy health products, wonder-pills or a high profile study, but on prevention, a healthy lifestyle and the willingness to take charge of your own health.

The route to wellness in the new year begins with a trip to your doctor for physical exam.

This approach, called wellness, works to keep your body and mind in good shape instead of waiting for it to breakdown, then treating it. In this way, it is similar to caring for a car. You can wait for your parts to wear out, and possible break other parts, and then repair them, or you can do preventative maintenance.

In wellness, monitoring your own health daily is your priority, which is why a logical first step this year should be to get a physical exam. This will help you know where you are with your health and what conditions you are at risk for. From there, you can make easy changes in your lifestyle to avoid these conditions. Sure, you may have to take a medication to help correct an imbalance, but again, it is from a preventative perspective.

Perhaps the best thing about the wellness approach is that it can be practiced by anyone at any age or in any condition of health. Everyone can improve their health in some way, which is the ultimate goal.

So, join Medi-Rents and Sales in living the “wellness life” this year. Schedule an appointment with your doctor, eat healthy, take advantage of free or low-cost health resources in your community and exercise your body and mind to make this year better than the last one.
