When Illness Hit's Home

There is nothing worse than being sick, dealing with a disease or encountering chronic illness. A little over a year ago, I encountered a heart attack. While I did survive the heart attack which was called a widow maker, I developed some heart issues that have changed my life in many ways. Currently, I take 3 medications plus Aspirin twice a day. While changing my diet, eating heart healthy and being wise to my condition has helped. I still deal with the after effects that can come with a serious life threatening heart attack and condition.

If you are dealing with a chronic illness, I encourage you to study up on foods, nutrition, exercise and the do's and don'ts. They can make a huge difference in your life.

The Definition Of Wellness

What is the definition of wellness? More than ever before, we hear this word in the news, on billboards, in conversation and even at work. Interestingly, there is no universally-accepted definition of wellness. There is, however, a set of common characteristics seen in most thoughtful attempts at a definition of wellness. We generally see a reference to a “state of well-being,” which is vague, to say the least. Also frequently seen is a “state of acceptance or satisfaction with our present condition.”
