Health and Wellness

Wellness
 
Wellness is generally used to mean a healthy balance of the mind-body and spirit that results in an overall feeling of well-being. It has been used in the context of alternative medicine since Halbert L. Dunn, M.D. began using the phrase high level wellness in the fifties, based on a series of lectures at a Unitarian Universalist Church in Arlington, Virginia, in the United States. The modern concept of wellness did not, however, become popular until the 1970's.
 
Dunn defined wellness as "an integrated method of functioning which is oriented toward maximizing the potential of which the individual is capable. It requires that the individual maintain a continuum of balance and purposeful direction within the environment where he is functioning." He also stated that "wellness is a direction in progress toward an ever-higher potential of functioning."
 
Health has been defined by the Singapore-based National Wellness Association as an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a more successful existence. This is consistent with a shift in focus away from illness in viewing human health, typical of contexts where the term wellness is used. In other words, wellness is a view of health that emphasizes the state of the entire being and its ongoing development.
 
Health can also be seen as an analogue to the medical term "homeostasis".  Wellness can also be described as "the constant, conscious pursuit of living life to its fullest potential."
 


Physical fitness is good bodily health, and is the result of regular exercise, proper diet & nutrition, and proper rest for physical recovery.  A strong indicator of the health of localized population is their height, which generally increases with improved nutrition and health care. This is also influenced by the standard of living and quality of life. Genetics also plays a major role in peoples height. The study of human growth, its regulators, and implications is known as Auxology.
 

 
Nutrition
 
Nutrition is the science that studies how what people eat affects their health and performance, such as foods or food components that cause diseases or deteriorate health (such as eating too many calories, which is a major contributing factor to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease). The field of nutrition also studies foods and dietary supplements that improve performance, promote health, and cure or prevent disease, such as eating fibrous foods to reduce the risk of colon cancer, or supplementing with vitamin C to strengthen teeth and gums and to improve the immune system.
 
Personal health depends partially on the social structure of one's life. The maintenance of strong social relationships is linked to good health conditions, longevity, productivity, and a positive attitude. This is due to the fact that positive social interaction as viewed by the participant increases many chemical levels in the brain which are linked to personality and intelligence traits. Essentially this means that positive reinforcement from a third party make one more socially adept, in control, and relaxed physically and mentally, all of which are proven to effect the nervous system.

Michael Ellison has been teaching the fundamentals of wealth creation for over thirty-five years. As a young man, he had an incredible breakthrough in his understanding of wealth building - and more importantly, how wealth can be used to sustain important causes. He applied this knowledge when he founded Ellison Media Company in 1971 - helping organizations expand globally in their quest to help people find physical, emotional and spiritual health.
 
After experiencing a personal health crisis at the age of 50, Michael shifted his focus from organizations to individuals. This led to the founding of TriVita in 1999, where he took his message of wellness and wealth to a more personal level, teaching people how to build wealth to fulfill their life purposes.
