The Finish Line


     Throughout this semester, I have been writing a blog over general health and wellness.  I can honestly say that I never thought that I would participate in writing a blog.  While it may not have been something I fancied to do, it did have some effect on me.  For example, when I was looking up information on individual wellness, I realized that some parts of my life needed a change. Anyways, as the semester comes to an end so will my blog.  It's been a good experience, but it will not be something that I will continue to do with my time.  For my last blog, I wanted to form a general outline of health and well-being.
     There are seven dimensions of wellness. There is emotional, physical, social, occupational, environmental, intellectual, and spiritual.  A person that manages these seven portions of their life are considered a "well" person.

     For general health, the key is a well-balanced diet and the required amount of daily exercise.  The hardest part of general health for most people is the well-balanced diet.  Some people tend to crave specific foods, usually unhealthy foods, which causes them to break a healthy diet.  The key is being disciplined enough to limit one's intake of unhealthier foods.  What makes diets so difficult in America today is the large amounts of unhealthy foods being produced.  Everywhere you turn there is a new toxic food product being made or displayed for the consumers to buy.
