Physical fitness has attracted a lot of attention in recent years, with little attention given to mental and spiritual health because of our ignorance in this area. Health and general body wellness span beyond going to the gym, eating good food, and living in comfort.

Health and general body wellness deal with the three components of the body; the body, mind, and spirit of a man. Chinese men and women understand this truth, and it is the reason behind their engagement in yoga and meditation to get these three body components into alignment for heightened productivity.

Many people have paid much attention to the spirit, especially the religious fanatics, but little or no attention to their mental and physical health. Although their physical appearance may tell us that they are in good shape, every health practitioner knows that it is not the right way to live life.

Three Categories of People in Health and Wellness

Now, we have three categories of people in health and general body wellness. These include:

1. Those who pay attention to their spirit neglecting other areas. They are engaging in different kinds of spiritual activities but neglecting the body and the mind. They believe that a spiritual man can conquer any and everything on his way. This is an imbalance of knowledge.

2. People who pay much attention to the mind and neglect other components by attending seminars, podcasts, and every other meal for the mind; but who pay little or no attention to their bodies and spirit. They believe that once a man can pay attention to mental growth, he will go far in life. These have an imbalance in their knowledge as well.

3. The last category of people believes that paying attention to their body through physical fitness exercise and having a well-built body will sustain them, neglecting their mind and spirit. This also is proof of a knowledge gap.

The reality is that if we don't bring balance to our lives, we will keep experiencing inner turmoil and chaos because, according to how a man was designed, we were created to function with these three components in alignment.

The mind receives the fruit of the investment made into the spirit of a man, while the body acts whatever that is in mind out, meaning the mind controls how his body functions and the kind of fruits he bears.

Any man who doesn't learn to align his life will experience different health conditions that will eventually hinder him from reaching his potential peak. Every man's desire is to live out his dreams, hit all his life goals, live a fulfilled life, and make maximum impact.
