Synergy Nutrition Wishes Everyone a very Happy New Year. May this new year bring you good health and happiness.
Everyone talks about good health, being healthy. I ask you what does the term HEALTH mean to you? Take a minute or two to reflect on this…….
For me it a state where all the body’s system’s- cardiovascular, nervous system, lymphatic, digestive, endocrine, muscular skeletal are all working in optimal balance and mental and social well-being is just as important as one’s physical well-being. Therefore health is much more than good nutrition and getting adequate rest. However if one gets the basics right the rest is achievable and sometimes a little guidance from a health professional, be it an osteopath, nutritional therapist, spiritual counsellor or life coach is needed to put one back on the right track.
The English word “health” comes from the Old English word hale, meaning “wholeness, a being whole, sound or well,”. Hale comes from the Proto-Indo-European root kailo, meaning “whole, uninjured, of good omen”. Kailo comes from the Proto-Germanic root khalbas, meaning “something divided”.
