Wellness and illness and corporates

It always amazes me what a wide disconnect there is between wellness and illness - not only in our own heads , but in society at large. Logically, your health is a continuum, but this is not the way we approach this topic. When you are well , you think you are immortal and that everything will be fine. We take our health for granted , and don't really about worry about things like exercise or fitness , because we naively assume that everything is always going to be fine. It's only when we fall ill that we realize what a precious gift health is , and how important it is to maintain our health by keeping our body and our mind fit. Unfortunately it's not only within our own heads that we have this dichotomy between wellness and illness - it exists in the real world as well. We all know that often illness is a result of not observing healthy lifestyle practices. This is so obvious , that there should be no need to repeat this, but because we seem to live in different worlds when we are ill and when we are healthy , this is a message which needs to be reinforced. When you're healthy , to make sure that you remain fit, you go to a dietitian to eat healthy food ; or sign up at a gym in order to build up your muscles or to improve your physique . No one ever goes to a doctor in order to remain healthy ! The truth is that doctors understand very little about health. Not only are most doctors in pretty poor health themselves , they often are not able to add much value to healthy...
