Constipation is another great example. In most people, constipation is a direct result of our eating and activity patterns. High fat, high protein, low fiber diets, inadequate fluid intake and sedentary lifestyles are the predominant causes of chronic and acute problems with constipation and other related disorders such as hemorrhoids and diverticulosis. Health is the dynamic, ever-changing process of trying to achieve your individual potential in the physical, social, emotional, mental, spiritual and environmental dimensions. Wellness is the achievement of the highest level of health possible in each of the dimensions.
Food is an important feature in all six dimensions of wellness.
Better yet, appropriate food choices help you to maximize energy level and provide the fuel and other factors necessary for you to perform at your best physically and mentally. Some foods are so good for you physically that I think that part of their deliciousness is in their healthful taste. My examples of super healthy delicious foods include spinach steamed with garlic , a warm tomato picked right out of the garden, fresh squeezed orange juice, and a strawerry smoothie . Some people make specific health boosting food choices when they feel like they might be coming down with something. One of my favorite things about getting sick when I was young was the foods that would be offered to make me well.
