Fitness
Fitness is a unique journey for each individual with the same goal in mind – to be able to be physically healthy in order to participate in activities, prevent disease and establish longevity. The three stable components of fitness include strength training, cardiovascular training, and flexibility training. Following a well-balanced fitness regimen helps create good physical condition for healthy living.
Nutrition
Nutrition is how food affects the health of your mind and body. What you eat will determine how well you think and feel today, tomorrow, and in the future. Good nutrition is an important part of leading a healthy lifestyle. A nutrient dense, well balanced way of eating can help you reach and maintain a healthy weight, maintain healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and avoid certain chronic diseases and debilitating conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and osteoporosis. Eating well can improve your sleep, your ability to think, remember and concentrate, and increase your energy levels. Having good nutrition also helps to keep the immune system strong increasing your ability to fight off illness, as well as recover from sickness or injury.
Mental & Emotional Health
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. There is a lot that we can do to enhance our mental and emotional wellbeing, enhance our feelings of contentment with life, deal with stressful situations, and adapt to challenges. Mental and emotional wellness self-care is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle regimen.
Physical Health
Physical health is the promotion of the wellness and vitality of an individual through supporting the organs, muscles, tissues, and cells that comprise the human body. The professionals on this page are devoted to providing information necessary to aid in supporting all the components of the physical body and maintaining proper function though all stages of life.
Financial Wellness
Financial Wellness is a sense that all is sound in our financial world. It’s the confidence of knowing that cash flow is positive and our needs are being met. It’s knowing that we are in control of our day-to-day financial decisions and have the ability and freedom to make the choices that allow us to enjoy life. It also includes being intentional about how those choices reflect our values and create a lasting legacy for our families and our communities.
Human Performance
Human Performance is about being able to function at your full capacities when you need to and want to, free of diagnosed, and lifestyle-induced diseases, i.e., obesity, diabetes and heart disease, including those that often go undiagnosed such as chronic exhaustion, and fatigue and burnout that lead to such diseases. It is also about being able to achieve your goals in life, business, or maybe even an athletic or creative pursuit, with the energy, health, endurance and stamina you need to meet today’s intensive demands on your energy and time, with grace. In this section of Thrive Morris, you will learn about what’s possible, and also the what’s, why ‘s, and how’s for integrating the various aspects of health, wellness, and wellbeing, so you can function and perform at your best.
Healthy Aging
Healthy aging is the adoption of healthy behaviors, attitudes and strategies to enjoy a high quality of life as we age. Healthy aging is also about being productive and developing meaning and purpose along life’s journey. The professionals here are devoted to guiding those who want to discover how to optimize all aspects of health for the best life possible. Special focus will be given to resources that challenge conventional views of aging.
Environmental
Our environment contains both human-made and naturally occurring chemicals and toxins that can harm our health. These harmful toxins are found in the air we breathe, water we drink, food we eat, the plastics we use including those to store and carry food and water, the household products we use to clean our homes, bath and beauty products, skin care and sun screen, and even in our clothing, dry cleaning, carpets, furniture, etc. Being aware of these chemicals and toxins and taking steps to limit our exposure can help us protect our health.
Thrive Morris Gives
