The part can never be well unless the whole is well.
I hope this collection of quotes will inspire you to approach health — your health — from a holistic point of view.
Our wellbeing is a priority no matter how you look at it, and we must let go of the idea that body and mind are somehow separated from each other.
Because they are not. And as you learn to get in touch with your body, mind, and even spirit, you realize that true health can only be that of the whole.
Holistic health in a nutshell
How do you define good health? Is it a number on the scale? Absence of physical pain? A gym membership?
Most of us have actually realized, at least intuitively, that wellbeing is much more complex than a single number or state.
The holistic approach sees health as the harmony between all the elements of our being — mind, body, and spirit.
They all need nourishment. They all need to be taken care of. And they all are deeply interconnected.
