BE HEALTHY

What does it mean to be healthy?  Most of us think of health as eating healthful foods and exercising regularly.  While those are extremely important, did you ever consider the other aspects of your health? Physical, Mental, and Social Health compose the Health Triangle.  Read more about it in this article!


Now—to focus on physical health.  A HUGE part of maintaining physical health is where your motivation lies.  Instead of viewing a workout as punishment to your body for eating that extra piece of cake, look at it as a reward for the wonderful, beautiful, miracle of a body that God gave you.  LOVE your body.  I came across this article on Yahoo, and I love it!


Be Healthy! Be Distinguished!
Happy National Be Your Best Self week!
