Wellness is generally used to mean a healthy balance of the mind-body and spirit that results in an overall feeling of well-being.Wellness means much more than just being disease free.
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.
One must come to understand the inherent interconnection between the mind and body.
Balance comes from the establishment of equilibrium between mind, body, and spirit through the continual cultivation of our daily existence.
Wellness is a journey, not a destination.| In Defense of Food |

 By Michael PollanFood. There's plenty of it around, and we all love to eat it. So why should anyone need to defend it? Because most of what we're consuming today is not food, and how we're consuming it -- in the car, in front of the TV, and increasingly alone -- is not really eating. Instead of food, we're consuming "edible foodlike substances" -- no longer the products of nature but of food science. Many of them come packaged with health claims that should be our first clue they are anything but healthy. In the so-called Western diet, food has been replaced by nutrients, and common sense by confusion. The result is what Michael Pollan calls the American paradox: The more we worry about nutrition, the less healthy we seem to become.
