HEALTH AND WELLNESS ACHIEVING A STATE OF EQUILIBRIUM

                                                             Challenges and Approaches  - 1

Health and wellness businesses generated $639 billion in 2020. The wellness industry has surpassed all the major industries. The wellness supplements market is expected to gain 386.29 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 6.45% (Source: Data bridge market research)

Especially during COVID and post-COVID, there is a tremendous increase in the consumption of supplements. Most supplements claim to be immune boosters, immunity enhancers, etc.  Does any supplement enhance strength, immunity, and energy overnight? As usual, people are becoming scapegoats for these companies and spending billions and trillions on these supplements and inviting new health problems. Health and wellness are two broad categories.

Today, we have 4 types of knowledge givers.

Acquired Knowledge: People try to share knowledge, which is acquired either from neighbor experiences, from any other sources like social media, or from family members who have no scientific data or clinical evidence. Which they tend to present. Very less reliability.

Academicians: Qualified in their respective fields, with proven experience and sound scientific knowledge. They give us reliable and scientifically proven data and guidance.

Celebrity knowledge: Whether scientific or not, whether reliable or not, people just follow blindly.

Tried and Tested Knowledge: There are some ancient home remedies that people have been following for many years. Grandmother and great-grandmother remedies have been used by us for many generations. We call them simple home remedies. Although it may not have clinical studies, it is followed by many generations and has less risk and less harm.

Everyone must understand the primary source of knowledge givers before adopting them into their daily lives.

Wellbeing is a keyword coined by the WHO that can be defined as: “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or. infirmity”.

            In day-to-day wellness, there will be 3 segments to describe precisely.

Prevention stage / well-balanced stage:  In this stage, people try to prevent themselves from disease or lifestyle disorders. Trying to stay strong physically and emotionally.

Treatment stage: Diagnosed with disease and undergoing treatment for either Allopathy or any other alternate medicine.

Maintenance Stage: After treatment, maintenance is a very important stage where one needs to take steps to maintain good health further.

            Everyone has different Nutritional Requirements and needs in these three stages, but one thing in common is “Food.” What we eat today decides our tomorrow.
