Wellness is a holistic approach to health, encompassing not just the absence of illness but also the pursuit of a balanced and fulfilling life. It integrates physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual well-being. Here's why focusing on wellness is essential:

Wellness practices act as a proactive approach to health, reducing the likelihood of illness and improving longevity.
