Each month in this column we’ll help you optimize your health on a daily basis by providing resources and simple tips and strategies that will lead you to a life full of vitality throughout the year.

What is holistic health?

Holistic health encompasses three elements, the physical, psychological and spiritual, which are influenced by our daily choices in nutrition, our physical activities, and our emotions, relationships and environment.

It’s a more global approach to health, found in Asia and certain European countries for centuries, in which the focus is on optimizing daily healthy lifestyle habits to improve health rather than focusing on disease.

A proactive approach to your health

Being proactive with your health means prioritizing health as a main component of your daily life. This approach enables you to benefit fully from a healthy lifestyle while facing your daily challenges in a balanced way.

It asks you to be more aware of your overall well-being by integrating healthier lifestyle habits that will help optimize your long-term health, rather than simply reacting to health challenges.

Choosing your global health team

Choosing a team of health professionals can help you optimize your health as they support and accompany you in this new way of living.

For example, why not plan three or four annual appointments with your chiropractor to optimize your joint health and mobility throughout the year instead of waiting until you put your back out to book your appointment?

To learn more about this global health approach, follow us every month in Tremblant Express. In the meantime, and if your French is up to the challenge, we invite you to check out an excellent book on the subject: La santé repensée: cessez de chercher la pilule miracle, agissez différemment. Dr Gaëtan Brouillard, les Éditions de l’Homme 2015.
To your health!
