What’s the Difference Between
Wellness & WellBeing?
Wellness describes a state of physical health. It is when individuals have the ability and energy to do what they want to do in life. Although wellness means something different at every stage of life, it’s largely supported through habits of eating, physical activity and quality sleep. Smoking, an unhealthy diet, and the lack of adequate physical activity often have the result of the development of chronic diseases, specifically heart disease, stroke, diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and some types of cancer.
In recent years, it’s been recognized that a holistic view that includes the whole person, their lifestyle, and environment affects wellbeing. There are different dimensions, or areas, that include wellbeing. There are six pillars of lifestyle medicine—a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances and positive social connections. Rather than a blanket ‘one-size-fits-all’ way to eat, it’s helpful to keep in mind indigenous and traditional eating patterns and lifestyles to better attain our own wellbeing, as well as supporting our environment. Often, these are complimentary goals, increasing our own wellbeing and resilience as well as that of our planet.
