What does "healthy" mean to you?
There are many definitions for what constitutes a "healthy" person or lifestyle. How would you define the term? What behaviors or actions have you taken to be "healthy"?
Healthy to me involves the body, mind, and spirit. Having good numbers at the doctor's office, having good mental health, and having a spiritual practice is health to me.
What a wonderful and well-rounded definition. So often, we ignore mental/spiritual health when we talk about overall health, but mental health has a powerful impact on physical health. We really need to care for our whole selves. Thanks for chiming in. Warmly, Lori (Team Member)
Being able to wake-up everyday, and doing what I need to do.

Despite me doing all the correct things. Inflammation everything hurtsHi
