The 4 Parts of health...

When a person states they feel well or are healthy, what are they exactly referring to?  Well, a person's personal health is divided equally into four parts:  physical, social, mental, and emotional.  Typically the physical part is the main stream as it is further broken down into more parts that we associate with health.

Physical health includes personal hygiene, nutrition, physical fitness, sleeping, and state or condition of the body.  In the sub category, physical fitness, it is further broken down into the 5 components of health-related fitness.  Muscular Strength, Flexibility, Cardio-Respitory Endurance, Muscular Endurance, and Body Composition (fat to muscle ratio). 
As a Personal Trainer and Wellness Specialist I spend much time just trying to balance client's physical health as parts like the 5 components of health related fitness, but further add that sleeping patterns, and really understanding that a diet is just what a person eats.  Compounded that most people don't truly understand what a balanced diet really entails and that true health is established through a lifestyle not just quick fix solutions to look a certain way.

By balancing one part of your four parts of health is good, but when all four parts are in balance we use a term saying that a person has achieved WELLNESS!!  Of course this is dynamic, meaning that it is always changing and needs to be kept in balance with simple personal choices of how to live our lives........
