Physical Wellbeing
Physical wellbeing seems like a global term for a lot of topics:
exercise, diet, sexual health, genetics, etc. Although there is a
lot to keep in mind with physical health, we can all live well with
a proactive approach and a little nurturing. Respect your body by
eating healthy foods and staying hydrated. Build your
physical endurance through regular exercise and respect your body's
need for rest.
Think about this...
- What physical activity do you most enjoy? How often do you do
this activity vs. how often would you like to?
- Are you conscious of the foods you put into your body?
- When you get regular physical activity, do you recognize a
change in your cognitive ability, physical strength and sense of
self-worth?

Keep Your Memory At Its Best With Sleep
Skimping on sleep can affect the brain in many ways. Planning,
problem-solving, learning, concentration, working memory and
alertness all take a hit. Luckily, it's reversible. As
little as one to two hours of extra sleep can improve
performance on tasks requiring sustained attention, such as an
exam.
