Quotation of the Week

"Just because you're not sick doesn't mean you're healthy." -Author unknown


The absence of a cold or an ailment is not good enough to proclaim health.

Being disease-free or free from any sickness is certainly a good thing.
But it is not enough.

Complete health comes about when mental well-being is intact, when the body is well-rested, when clean, nutritious foods make up the bulk of your diet, when moderation is practiced, and when the body is given the physical activity that it craves.

And when any one of these things is missing, it is possible that the body could be suffering from a certain level of unhealthiness...

Stress, anxiety, depression, sadness, and negativity - each mental upset can bring a person away from true health and cause unfavorable effects.

Sleep deprivation and constant exhaustion - these challenges suck the vitality out of a person.

Processed, fake foods and preservative-filled, convenience foods - these substances don't nourish the body. Instead, they add unnecessary things into the body and they mess with one's hormonal balance.

Excessive amounts of anything are not healthy for the body.

And lack of physical activity, along with prolonged sitting and laziness - this common practice can age and deteriorate the body at a rapid pace.


Friends -
If we give the body what it needs, we will be healthy.
If we deprive the body of these essential necessities, we cannot claim health, now can we?

Can you claim to be truly healthy??
