Wellness Basics

Wellness as a concept is not new. It is based on the old adage that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Yet with today’s advanced health care, less than 1% of all health care costs are spent on prevention. We tend to fix our health once we have a problem, rather than prevent the problems from happening in the first place. But that type of thinking is starting to change. Wellness programs are becoming increasingly popular. The primary reasons are two fold.

Lifestyle

First, is quality of life. In our society, we all lead busy lives. Many of us don’t get the exercise we need and the proper nutrients to help our bodies function at optimum levels. The evidence is overwhelming that people focused on wellness lead, more happy and fulfilled, and effective lives. They feel better, work better, and play better.

Cost

Second, as health care costs rise, so do corporate expenses and our own personal expenses. Health care coverage trends all indicate that as costs rise, benefits decrease, leaving us, as individuals to cover more of our health care costs on our own. Wellness programs help save both us and our employer money. Wellness means prevention, and it also means we have more say in our own health care.

Consumer Driven Wellness

As we take responsibility of our own health, we improve the quality of our lives and save money. Why? There are a few reasons. For example, 40% of all health care expenses could be avoided. As we learn more about our health and what alternatives we have, we make better choices. That includes lifestyle choices such as the amount of exercise we get and the foods we eat. It also involves preventive measures, such as inexpensive dietary supplement use rather than expensive medications.

Education is Vital

A crucial element of taking more responsibility for our own health is education. The online learning found in this site including the health library and the wellness newsletters will help you with everything from how to talk with your doctor to strategies for relieving stress at work. Make sure to take advantage of the great resources that are provided for you here.

About Supplements

Dietary Supplements are also an important aspect of wellness. Research has shown that when supplement use increases, the use of prescription drugs goes down. That not only saves each of us money, it also means we are leading healthier, happier lives.

It’s Up to Each of Us

We’ve provided this Online Wellness Center as a benefit to provide access to great information and products concerning our health. It is our hope we’ll all take the time to use these resources to better our lives. Please look through the site and use what’s here. After all, having good health affects not only ourselves, but those we love as well. Thanks
