Wellness & Eating Well

A question that I receive frequently is eating well, and if that's the only thing that leads to wellness.



Well, eating well isn't the only aspect of wellness. First of all, the term 'health' means different things to everyone based on their perception of health.  Similarly, eating can vary from person to person.

There are other things involved to be well like hydration, oxygenation, physical activity, anger, greed, vanity, stress, and more.  If the only factor was eating, life would have been much easier to understand! Eating is important, but only a part of the whole picture of being well.

Now, the question is what is defined as healthy eating?  Processed food vs wholesome food, fresh food vs stale food, raw food vs cooked food or vegetarian food vs non vegetarian food.

Keeping all these things in mind, it appears that your understanding of eating healthy can make you physically healthy but you need more understanding and balance at the mind level to be well.
