With a new year, we often make resolutions regarding our health. After all, our health is very important to us. Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. If our health fails, it can overshadow everything else going on in our life. Making a commitment to take on healthier habits this new year is key to feeling better and achieving our goals.
If we examine the human body, we know that the heart pumps blood, kidneys filter urine, the brain is constantly thinking, and our lungs help us breathe. Maintaining all 11 body systems (circulatory, digestive, endocrine, integumentary, lymphatic, muscular, nervous, reproductive, respiratory, skeletal, and urinary/excretory) is crucial to living healthy. A balanced diet, exercise, and sleep are also key ingredients to great health. Our health is truly our wealth.
