There are many ways to support your physical well-being. Physical wellness is the most common dimension of well-being that people recognize.

Your physical wellness is determined by your health behaviors and habits. It’s important to understand proper nutrition, fitness, and when to seek medical care. By listening to your body, you can plan for your specific health needs.

There are many barriers that can cause poor health. Mindset, illnesses, and genetics can influence your physical health and well-being. Your mental health can have a strong negative or positive impact on your physical wellness.
