...A Healthy Life Brooke Williams Sci163 Kristina Worthington May 27, 2014 A Healthy Life Health and wellness is an important part of everyday life and it includes fitness and nutrition, preventing chronic disease, environmental awareness, and protecting your immune system. There are many ways that each of the topics can affect your life and the way you live it. The knowledge of these can give way to a more healthy life. Wellness is much more than merely physical health, exercise or nutrition. It is the full integration of states of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. The model used by our campus includes social, emotional, spiritual, environmental, occupational, intellectual and physical wellness. Each of the seven dimensions act and interact in a way that contributes to our own quality of life. There are many ways to implement them all into our everyday society but the three in particular that I would give more focus and put emphasis on would be environmental, emotional, and intellectual. Emotional wellness implies the ability to be aware of and accept our feelings rather than deny them, have an optimistic approach to life, express feelings freely and manage feelings effectively, express emotions appropriately, adjust to change, cope with stress in a healthy way, and enjoy life despite its occasional disappointments and frustrations. Emotional includes the “capacity to manage one’s feelings and related behaviors including the realistic assessment of one’s limitations...

...growth of wellness as an industry. These trends not only directly impact the spa industry and its customers, but also are opening new opportunities for spas to play a leading role in a paradigm shift toward more proactive ways of taking care of ourselves (Pilzer). According to economist Paul Zane Pilzer, the wellness industry is new and is currently a $500 billion worth industry. Pilzer also predicted that 10 million millionaires will emerge from the wellness industry in the next 3 to 5 years (Pilzer 2001). The Natural Mystic’s marketing plan seeks to generate revenue from a target market of primarily customers over fifty years old called the Baby Boomers. Through its wellness center, The Natural Mystic will provide unique solution – orient programs geared towards a market segment of serenity and holistic wellness seekers. Boomers represent the most progressive group in terms of making the connection between good health and appearance. As a result, Boomers represent the prime target for “beauty from within” messages. 75 % of Baby Boomers believe the best years are ahead of them. In this vein, they are looking for solutions that cater to concerns like lack of energy, physical health, memory and emotional health (Nolen 2011). It may seem that Boomers are only seeking an illusion of youth; youthfulness is being redefined to include any age as long as the person is toxin / disease free, emotionally and spiritually satisfied, and fit. Today, folks think about health and wellness...

For instance, health might be pre-determines biologically such as genetics and DNA.

Employees who have an exercise program on site have the ability to last longer on the job as opposed to employees without an on site exercise program. This is mainly attributed to the overall fitness of the employees. For an employee to produce quality results, it is important to maintain fitness in all areas. The employee should be fit physiologically, physically, mentally, and professionally. The brain plays an important role in the overall performance of an employee. For an employee to conduct the different tasks well, the brain should be maintained at high levels of fitness. An exercise program ensures that employees exhibit better performance and stay on longer due to the fact that it provides fitness in more than one vital area.

Lastly it will discuss the disadvantages and advantages that are to the employees and employers. Wellness program cover different areas of a lifestyle of mental and physical wellness. One program that is most commonly known and will be discus in the paper is a corporate wellness. According to Koenig Wellness, “Wellness psychology is a way of responding to the challenges of life with positive expectancy and self-esteem, based on the awareness that our natural state is harmony and inner peace (Koenig, MD, 2011).” There are positive aspects of “thinking positive” about ones future. If a person is to think of where he or she wants to be as older age sets in, it gives them the confidence to obtain the kind of quality of life that is good. Wellness programs try to promote just that. They set goals, encourage meditation, eating well, walking, exercise, and instill the positive thinking of getting things done.

...Obesity in America Julie Slomczenski In the United States today, obesity has become an enormous problem. In the last 3 decades, the number of people overweight has increased dramatically. A study done by the Centers of Disease Control showed that since 1980, one third of our adult population has become overweight. America is the richest but also the fattest nation in the world, and our obese backsides are the butt of jokes in every other country (Klein 28). The 1980s were a time when Americans suddenly started going crazy over dieting, jumping onto the treadmills, and buying prepackaged non-fat foods. However, while all of that was going on, the number of obese Americans began to increase. According to a report in the Journal of the American Medical Association, 58 million people in our country weigh over 20 percent of their body’s ideal weight. The article “Fat Times” states, “If this were about tuberculosis, it would be called an epidemic” (Elmer-Dewit 58). The eating habits of society have steadily become more harmful and have started to produce gluttonous children, over-indulgent adults, and a food industry set too much on satisfying our appetites. Obesity can begin at a very young age. Many children in our society are overweight, setting themselves up for serious health problems later in life. Type 2 diabetes, high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, and heart problems are just some of the risks. Children who are overweight also tend to feel less secure, less happy,...
