Wellness instead of Health

They say - Health is Wealth, but in reality Wellness is what you want to be rich with.
If Health is your Bank account then Wellness is the Bank itself.
 
Wellness is a Concept:
Every person must take personal responsibility for his or her own state of Health.
 
Wellness is a Preventive Plan:
Every person must make an effort to recognize conditions, situations and practices that may be threatening or may have the potential to be detrimental to his or her own health. Moreover, you must take steps to change or eliminate these process in order to live a healthier, wealthier and longer life.

Wellness involves taking an active role in being healthy:
It’s as simple as adopting practices that enhance health such as-
•    A low-fat, high-fiber based diet
•    Exercise
•    Maintaining a good work-life balance
•    Having a positive mental & spiritual attitude
Wellness also includes reducing health risks and also eliminating practices that can add stressful dangers to your lifestyle.

Wellness takes into consideration more than just our state of physical health:
How do you define wellness? Look at the figure below-

A wellness-orientated person will always strive to achieve a healthy balance between the three- Body, Mind & Spirit.

To look at it in a different perspective, let’s compare the wellness model to an iceberg. As we all know, 90% of an iceberg remains below the surface of water while only a measly 10% is visible. 
Look at the figure below and you will see that your state of health only makes up 10% of overall wellness.

Of course, wellness goes beyond physical manifestations. Look into your genetic component and then the scenario changes. Life suddenly becomes fair and unfair. However, regardless of what your genes tell you one thing is for sure, use the wellness model in your life and the glass will start looking half full rather than half empty.
