Understanding the relationship between your body’s physical health and mental health is crucial in order to develop a balanced physical wellness. When you take the route to physical wellness you'll learn to understand how your body preforms physically and be able to connect it to how you feel mentally. Physical wellness encourages principles of good health and knowledge, which affect behavior patterns that lead to a healthy lifestyle. 

Physical health can be addressed through lifestyle choices. Most healthy children and adults should be active on a daily basis. A well-balanced diet should contain carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Substances that alter mood or other bodily processes should be limited or avoided. Self-care should be the normal routine stressing self-reliance, increasing wellness, and pathology prevention. While regular activity is essential for physical health, allowing the body to rest is just as important.
