Physical wellness is critical to overall well-being. People who are physically well tend to be physically active and exercise regularly, eat a well-balanced diet, maintain a healthy body weight, get enough sleep, practice safe sex, minimize exposure to unhealthy environmental contaminants, avoid harmful substances, and seek medical attention and advice regularly. Your clients will discover many benefits from making healthy physical lifestyle choices.
We all have many reasons to make healthy lifestyle choices and live healthier lives. The biggest challenge is finding ways to control personal health choices and follow a healthy lifestyle.
Use the Physical Well-Being Workbook to help your clients make lasting healthy choices and keep them motivated while they modify their behavior. In this workbook, you will engage your clients in various self-assessments, help them set healthy lifestyle goals, and focus on living healthier lives.
