(PP.221-222)
– WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER, YOU DID NOT HAVE TO
THINK MUCH ABOUT YOUR HEALTH. YOUR PARENTS,
TEACHERS, AND OTHER CARING ADULTS LOOKED OUT
FOR YOUR HEALTH. THEY MADE SURE THAT YOU ATE
RIGHT FOODS, HAD REGULAR MEDICAL CHECK UP AND
IMMUNIZATIONS AND OTHER HEALTH PRACTICES.

(PP.221-222)

A BALANCED LIFE. BEING HEALTHY MEANS HAVING A BALANCE IN
THE DIMENSION OF HEALTH AND MAINTAINING GOOD HEALTH AS
REQUIRING MORE THAN JUST TAKING CARE OF THE VARIOUS
SINGULAR COMPONENTS THAT MAKE UP THE PHYSICAL BODY,
ADDITIONALLY INCORPORATING ASPECT SUCH AS MENTAL,
EMOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL-MORAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL WELL-BEING.
THE GOAL IS A WELLNESS THAT ENCOMPASSES THE ENTIRE PERSON
RATHER THAN JUST THE LACK OF PHYSICAL PAIN OR DISEASE.
