What is ‘holistic health’? According to the dictionary, the word holistic is defined as: “characterized by comprehension of the parts of something as intimately interconnected by reference to the whole.” So, when we use the word in reference to our health, what we mean is the picture of health that includes not only the obvious physical factors, but mental, emotional, social, and even spiritual factors as well.
In today’s modern world, many of our systems and customs seem to be organized in a way that separates the different facets of health- for example, a nutritionist might recommend ways to eat healthily, and a therapist might recommend ways to cope with stress, but often, there is little to no crossover guidance or framework for fitting the pieces together as a whole.
It seems that we have forgotten the idea that health encompasses not just the absence of physical disease, but involves healthy habits, thoughts, coping mechanisms, and peaceful ways of relating to our environment and to others. That’s why it is always said ” health is wealth”
Health is Wealth
The well-being of a person is way greater than the wealth they have. People don’t understand the phrase ‘health is wealth’ at a young age when they torture their body as they wish to and expect that there would be no consequences. The health effects start bothering you once you grow older. Several problems in the body start showing up, and one has to then suffer from a lot of pain. This pain and adverse effects of unhealthiness cannot be cured by money; therefore, it is proven that a person’s true wealth is having a healthy body and mind, which is to be earned by following a healthy lifestyle.
A fit body is one that is disease-free and active. There are several ways by which one can acquire fitness, among them running, swimming, exercising, doing yoga, maintaining a disciplined life, cleanliness, a healthy diet, etc. plays a significant role.
