Health & Wellness
Health and wellness are essential components of a fulfilling and productive life. While health refers
to the physical state of the body, wellness encompasses a broader spectrum including mental,
emotional, and social well-being. This presentation explores the various dimensions of health and
wellness, aiming to provide a holistic understanding of how to live a balanced and meaningful life
through conscious lifestyle choices and healthy habits.

3. Physical Health
Cardio exercises, such as running, cycling, swimming, or
brisk walking, focus on strengthening the heart and lungs.
These activities improve blood circulation, increase lung
capacity, lower blood pressure, and help regulate weight.
Regular cardio also reduces the risk of heart disease,
stroke, and type 2 diabetes, while boosting energy levels
and mood.
Flexibility exercises, including stretching, yoga, and
Pilates, improve the range of motion of muscles and
joints. They reduce the risk of injury, ease muscle
tension, and promote better posture and balance.
Flexibility training also contributes to overall
relaxation, making it an essential component of a
balanced exercise routine.

manage emotions. During sleep, emotional experiences are processed,
helping reduce anxiety and stress.

helps activate the body’s parasympathetic nervous system, which
reduces stress responses.

reading, or playing music offers a mental break from
stressors.

groups can provide emotional relief and a sense of
connection during stressful times.

lights when not in use, using energy-efficient
appliances, and minimizing heating or cooling
usage lower carbon emissions and reduce the
strain on natural resources, promoting
environmental sustainability.
Eco-friendly choices involve selecting products and
behaviors that have minimal negative impact on the

choosing sustainable materials, reducing single-use
plastics, supporting companies with green practices,

like walking, cycling, or public transit.
