WHAT DOES HEALTH ACTUALLY MEAN?
According to the WHO health is: A state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” […]

“A resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasising social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities.”

Mental and physical health are the 2 most frequent types of health discussed today, however spiritual, emotional and financial health contribute to a person’s overall health. It is proven that lower stress levels show improvement in physical and mental well-being.

PHYSICALLY, AS HUMAN BEINGS, WE PLAY A HUGE ROLE IN HOW WE AFFECT OUR PERSONAL HEALTH WITH LIFE CHOICES. EXERCISE, DIET AND NUTRITION ARE ALL CONTRIBUTING FACTORS TO THE CREATION OF YOUR BODY AS IT IS TODAY.

Mentally, if we have a positive outlook on life, take time for ourselves and take part in activities that relax our mind and body, this will drastically improve the quality of your life and your overall Health.

What is Wellness?

According to Pfizer “Wellness is the act of practising healthy habits on a daily basis to attain better physical and mental health outcomes, so that instead of just surviving, you’re thriving.”

To understand the significance of wellness, it’s important to understand how it’s linked to health.

Several key areas of your lifestyle are considered dimensions of overall Wellness. They include: social connectedness, exercise, nutrition, sleep and mindfulness. Each one has an impact on your physical and mental health.

By making simple and healthy choices on a daily basis, you will be well on your way towards reducing stress, having positive social interactions and achieving optimal wellness.

Social connectedness – Meeting up with friends or loved ones is a great way of improving your wellbeing both physically and mentally. Even 10 minutes of speaking to one of your nearest companions is a great way of reducing stress.

Exercise – 20-30 minutes of exercise on a daily basis is all that is required to release happy endorphins, instantly improving your mood. Even just a simple brisk walk!

Nutrition – As we have already discovered Nutrition has one of the biggest impacts on your health, linking it to wellbeing.

Sleep – A great sleep routine will give you a good sense of wellbeing; waking up at a similar time each day, getting 7-8 hours sleep daily, no caffeine before bed time and calm activities before sleep.

Mindfulness – Practising mindfulness and how you control your thoughts is so important for your own wellbeing. The law of attraction. The more you tap into your own thoughts, the more you are aware of how you react in different situations. Channelling a positive energy will give you a more positive outlook overall.

SHOULD I COMBINE WELLNESS THERAPIES WITH A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE?
Wellness therapies work very well alongside a healthy lifestyle, and you’ll reap the rewards and notice a difference in your wellbeing.

At Le Mare Spas, we offer an array of different treatments – something for everyone! Our therapists’ personal recommendations to pair with a healthy lifestyle:

For relaxation, a full body massage is the most beneficial. It will soothe the nerve endings, help you to de-stress, help improve muscular pain, hydrate the skin, improve circulation, and improve the overall state of mind for any individual. Why not try something different, like our Aromatherapy Hot Stone massage, with the heated stones to deeply soothe and relax the muscle tissues.

A detox is recommended at least one time per year! A detox helps to cleanse the digestive system and the lymphatic system, to keep your body functioning as it should. Think of it like servicing yourself. At Le Mare spas we offer the Decleor Silhouette Detox body treatment. Perfect for removing dead skin cells, for stimulating the lymphatic system to drain away the unwanted toxins from our bodies.
