The first one is physical. Physical wellness is an important but often overlooked aspect of people’s overall health. In addition to avoiding bad habits, developing habits like eating balanced diets, daily exercise, and having quality sleep are all keys to keeping one’s body working properly.

The second one is mental health. Mental health is crucial in every stage of life and helps determine how people handle stress and make healthy choices. You can start taking care of your mental health by being thankful and finding ways to relieve stress.

The third one is social health. Humans are social animals. Strong relationships are linked to better health, increased happiness, and living a longer life. You can start by strengthening your existing relationships and making some new friends, too.

The fourth one is financial health. A well-thought-out financial plan allows you to be in control of your money, including income, expenses, and investments, to achieve your life goals.

The last one is medical. Medical health includes blood pressure and weight control. Keep track of your blood pressure to help you and your doctor make decisions on your health, potentially preventing hypertension, high blood pressure. Tracking your weight helps you measure your BMI to prevent or reverse obesity.
