At Naples Holistic Life, we are health education specialists. Let us teach you how to truly understand the concept of health and take control of your own health and well-being.

What is health?

Years ago, health focused on the individual physical body – its tissues and organs. This traditional medical model took a reactive approach to illness and disease.
Today, our perception of health is very different from what it was in the past. Our current model of health ha`s broadened to an understanding of not only our bodies, but also our minds, our behaviors, and our interactions within our communities and with the world around us.

What is wellness?

The concept of wellness expanded on the definition of health, recognizing levels of health within different categories including:

• Biological and physical health and fitness: the size, shape, and functionality of our bodies.
• Intellectual health: our minds and our ability to think and rationalize.
• Social health: our interpersonal relationships and how we interact with those around us.
• Emotional health: our ability to handle situations and emotions.
• Spiritual health: having a sense of purpose.
• Environmental health: how everything around us affects us.

Each of these categories can have profound effects on our well-being, quality of life, relationships, home environment, emotions, spirituality, finances, creativity, education, and career.
