Wellness according to the National Wellness Institute is a process of being aware of making choices towards a more successful existence (Arloski, pg. 13). Wellness is also a way of life, a choice and efficient channeling of energy, the mind spirit and body and acceptance of self (Arloski, pg. 13). Wellness also consist of and have many other dimensions such as, holistic nature of wellness and health. Wellness focuses more on helping each person reach their highest level of health (Arloski, pg. 13). A biblical worldview of wellness is that it is important to be healthy but unfortunately even Christians continue to abuse their bodies by not adhering to a healthy diet. Our bodies are a temple from God and should be taken care of.

Living a healthy lifestyle is a goal many individuals have and that could either be eating vigorous nutritious meals or being active outside in the world, going to the gym for instance. The condition of being physically fit and healthy is what fitness is. Not many people realize the importance of it until they can’t fit in their own jeans. Many individuals argue that there isn’t enough time for the gym or that there is no point in going because it can cause injury, but in reality, it’s all worth it after you realize the outcomes of working out and eating healthy. There is always time to make your life fit and healthier. In order to join this discourse community, a person must learn the typical ways people in that community interact and argue. I will demonstrate that I have entered this discourse community of fitness by obtaining necessary knowledge, establishing strong credibility, and learning to influence other members of the community to strive for more.

1. Eating plenty of fruit and veg- This was good for me to think about when my individual could eat her fruit most important in the day, as before creating the healthy plan she was not eating lot of fruit, it is very important that individuals get their five a day, this could be used when the individual is on the go instead of going to get a take away, she can go and eat some fruit which is going to fill her up as much as the take away but will be better for her health and her body, it will also give her a better nutrition to the body and also her brain for energy. This is also for her veg as well which we need to have every day.

Recently I have been motivated by my friend Adrian’s life changing decision of putting behind his desire of just letting go and being determined to live a healthy life. I have always had an active life and enjoy playing sports but figured that it wouldn’t be enough and I am currently on a diet which has cut down on my calorie and sugar level intake. Nowadays I take the time to read nutrition labels and measure portion sizes which make a great difference. Every now and then I have a break and consume foods that are not healthy but I now I am doing better now. It is a constant struggle to not get tempted into a delicious looking pizza or some perfectly rounded donuts but I stay motivated to achieve my

It is not only important to take care of our spiritual bodies, we must care for our physical bodies as well. Younger people are experiencing chronic diseases and, as a result, having their lives cut short. A key factor leading to such diseases is being overweight or obese, especially during childhood because such habits can continue into adulthood.

When people think of health in America, common sicknesses like cardiovascular disease and cancer come to mind. Although these sicknesses are very usual, yet serious diseases, they are definitely not the only health issues prevalent in America today. Organizations such as the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) work to ensure nationwide health promotion of all diseases. In 1979, the Department of Health, Education & Labor initially created the Healthy People program as a standard for disease prevention goals across the US. In its initial printing, the Healthy People program exhibited a "ten-year plan to reduce controllable health risks". In January 2000, Healthy People 2010 was established by the HHS as "a set of health objectives for the Nation to achieve over the first decade of the new century." With 467 specific objectives clustered into 28 focus areas, the 2010 program was implemented to reach all people and health issues across the United States. Of those 28 areas, 10 were considered 'Leading Health Indicators' which served as reflections of the major health

Several verses that apply to physical health are: 1 Corinthians 1:6-20 which says, “For you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” 1 Corinthians 10:31 that says, “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” And Proverbs 31:27 which says, “She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong.” I think if we look at just these three days, then my eating habits dishonor God. I’m not taking care of my body, so therefore I’m not glorifying God, and I’m hurting my body instead of making it stronger. How can I glorify God if I’m hurting His temple, and almost saying I can eat whatever I want it doesn’t matter what God has to say about it. But I also think if we look at my eating habits as a whole, they are not dishonoring God but they are not honoring Him either. With my diet as a whole I eat enough vitamins and

The summer, a time of warm weather, long weekends, friends and holidays. It is also the time where many of us put down the junk food, get off the couch and come out of winter hibernation to enjoy the outdoors. It’s often not long after playing your first game of beach volleyball or running to catch the bus when you realise that your heart is racing, sweat is pouring down your face and you are breathing heavily. As you look up and watch everyone still running around you or as your stepping onto the bus only one thought is running through your mind “WOW I am out of shape!”. Now I am not here today to try and convince you to get into better shape. Starting a fitness routine is a commitment that an individual needs to decide on for

The scripture in 1Corinthians 6: 19 states that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit “Do you now know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?” Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10:23 “but all things edify not,” The word edify is a word that mean to build a house. So in all our actions and activities we should always be mindful of building our temple as God’s house and not behaving in a manner that will be harmful or destructive. For example it is lawful to drink wine but would you sit down to a glass of wine with someone who was recovering from alcoholism? That would be inconsiderate if not harmful to that individual. We must think of others

It won’t be long enough before we set aside our spiritual food too – ‘the bread of life’ and we will find ourselves drained spiritually. See what Paul modelled on the deck of that rugged ship!

As Christians, we are called to honor God with our stewardship of our own bodies by donating our time, our bodies, and our money. In order to maximize our personal health and keep our bodies healthy in order to glorify God, we need to make smart decisions when buying exercise equipment or applying for different health club memberships. One important question we need to ask ourselves as Christians is can we stay fit for Kingdom use? Just as Romans 12 states: “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal,” as instead of refusing to exercise or make yourself better based on other’s actions, we should exercise and eat right in order to renew or bodies, and become transformed so that we can glorify God. However, dieting and

Exercise and eating healthy are two of the most important things you need to do to take care of your body properly. Both exercise, and eating healthy, have many advantages and benefits. They help with multiple things needed throughout your life. These things include growing physically, mentally, and if you are religious, spiritually as well. All of this adds up to your body functioning in the highest and best way possible.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is indeed a meaningful duty we owe ourselves. ‘If you do not have good health, you do not have wealth’. Healthy lifestyle means upholding a balanced and nutritious diet as well as involves in fitness activities. A healthy diet alone however isn’t sufficient to produce a healthy body as physical activity helps to keep one in shape and free of sickness and disease.
