Physical Health

Physical Wellness involves aspects of life that are necessary to keep yourself physically healthy.  it can include a variety of health-related behaviors such as not smoking, being physically active, healthy eating, taking medication as directed and taking personal responsibility for your health care by getting assessment and treatment in a timely manner.

Do I get annual physical exams and attend specialty appointments regularly?

Do I avoid using tobacco products or drink more than 2 glasses daily?

Do I get sufficient amount of sleep?

Do I have an established exercise routine?
