There is no 'I' in a team

Hello one and all its been a long sabatical of 10 days from imparting something new to my blog. In my last post I wrote about the 3 essentials or paramaters that women need to keep a check on as indicators of wellness. How about one parameter going 100 % and the rest as average ? 'No can do' will be what your body would communicate to you through certain abnormalities in the normal functioning. As common knowledge would tell us that when an organisation or an association has to succeed it has to function as a team. The same is applicable for the day to day normal wellbeing of our body and therefore the mind.

Physiologically everything we eat or consume has a role to play in the ultimate state of wellbeing or otherwise. Its not just about fat , carbohydrates and protein anymore or ever. Water - the very reason for our existence and necessity to survive, lubricates, acts as solvent, shock absorbant, nutrient transport from gut to the cells and what have you. Likewise sodium, potassium, phosphate, flourine, calcium, zinc, copper, iron, essential fatty acids, sugars, oxygen, amino acids, are but just cogs in the entire machinery of our body. Even a single loose end and the cranking, slowing, sluggish nature takes a role to play in our system. Wellness and the crux of the matter lays in the intricacies of our diet that not only are overlooked but are also unknown to many.
Our body always communicates to us with the slightest of pit fall. Again it also saves us the sheer pain of what we put it through with our nasty eating habbits and the more it saves us in the beginning the worse the outburst is towards the end. Its at these times that a heart attack or a liver failure or kidney failure comes into limelight and then all of us including our family members wonder what on earth went wrong? What went wrong was that 3 fruits of the season a day were missing, 8 glasses of water and 12 glasses of fluids were missing, a few roasted nuts a day were missing, no fat dairy and whole vegetables were missing, lean meat that isn't fried had been missing, and to keep it to the least a 30 minute exercise a day was not missed but never occurred ever.
Bottomline is health and wellness are a result of feeling well and happy, inorder to make your mind feel good it needs to reside in a well maintained body, inorder that the body is healthy we need to take care of ourselves just as we would take care of our beloved ones.
Wish you wellness.
