Wellness: What It Means and How To Reach It

". The" goal is instead precisely that of "making an effort not to make an effort", which implies a certain capacity for self-listening and introspection.

Recognizing the boundary between positive and negative stress is not at all easy, as this line is extremely changeable.

Well-being is therefore an essential aspect, a sort of precursor, of what we would call total functionality (to which we have dedicated an article in its own right).

Let's start with a brief definition.

(well-being induced by "psycho-physical training), welfare (social amortization intervention), etc.

For us of my-personaltrainer.it, the condition of well-being corresponds to one:

'general state of health, based not only on the "absence of pathologies, but also on the essential physical prowess, and on a psycho-emotional balance that tends towards positivity".

Let's now look at the elements that, according to the definition cited above, are indispensable for well-being proper.

- reduction of the quality of life, disability and reduction of life expectancy.

It is therefore no coincidence that metabolic diseases, ie insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, primary arterial hypertension, hyperuricemia and gout, are still "today defined as" diseases of well-being ".

Secondly, some diseases are completely asymptomatic, starting directly with some specific complications, or remain so up to a high level of severity - think, for example, of arterial hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, decline in renal function, etc. .

Therefore, a person may believe they are fine but still be affected by various types of physical discomfort, even severe. This requires:

To keep themselves checked periodically - for example with haematological analyzes once a year, monitoring the pressure etc. - regardless of the "belief" of being well, overcoming the (widespread) fear of "finding something wrong", or winning the laziness (equally common) of booking a medical check-up.

developing strength and resistance to the same, but also to stretch without suffering damage;

The central nervous system (CNS) demonstrates the ability to plan movement, coordinating, adapting, etc .;

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) exercises the ability to transmit motor signals, both descending from the CNS and reflexes;

The cardio-vascular and respiratory systems adapt to the level of general physical activity; if low, they will be ineffective and efficient, and vice versa. However, the "average" human should be able to withstand basic exertion, such as a light jog or an incline walk or a gentle climb.

However, we know that some parameters, first of all sex and age, influence the performance level of certain motor skills.

Men tend to develop more muscle mass, which tends to make them stronger in absolute terms.

Once the development is finished, after a few years of plateau, the organism begins to age and undergoes a decline in all its motor functions.

The only way to develop and maintain basal or essential motor function is to train in a manner appropriate.

In fact, it has been shown that:

• Those who have practiced sports in childhood and adolescence retain a higher athletic base than sedentary;
• Those who continue to practice sports have an extremely higher motor level than those who are sedentary;
• Those who have a sports past and present can delay the decline of general motility for decades; it is no coincidence that some sixty-year-olds have apparently been in shape for forty.

At the end of the speech, the principle that continues to apply general physical activity, and especially sport itself, is a fundamental means of achieving and maintaining general well-being.
