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...
