What Is Ultimate Health?
It's time for a reality check. If asked if we are healthy most of us would answer, "Yes". And, yet, as a country 2/3 of adults are overweight or obese, we are tired, stressed out, overwhelmed, over scheduled, toxic and more or less don't feel so hot. So what gives? How are we defining health in the first place and what does it feel like to be healthy?
The most common definition of health is not having a disease. This definition is not nearly broad enough to truly support our lives. Nearly 20 years ago the World Health Organization defined health as:
"A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
What that definition really looks like in our lives is what I call Ultimate Health. Ultimate Health is having a strong, fit, healthy body, a peaceful, kind and gentle mind, balanced, joyful, loving, and rich emotions, and living a life of purpose with passion, satisfaction and abundance.
