CHAPTER 4: Components
of
Health
Introduction

Health and wellness is not limited to just physical

health. It is pursuing continued growth and
balance between the various components.

Health and wellness can be divided into five

parts, which may be interrelated, but each
contributes in its way to a better life.
To stay “well”, all these components must be
looked after. The five components are:

I. Physical
II. Emotional
III.Intellectual
IV.Social
V. Spiritual
1. Physical

Physical fitness is of utmost importance. The

body that carries the weight has to be fit to
endure all the other challenges that a person faces
in life.

A healthy body not just helps stay away from

diseases but also creates mindfulness. There are
many ways in which a wellness coach can help to
reform physical wellness.
Eating right: A wellness coach will always
advise picking food that makes the body stronger
and not that makes it vulnerable. Selection of
proper nutrition and in the right amount is
crucial.

Exercising well: They will educate how daily

exercising in any form is beneficial for
maintaining a healthy weight and for muscles and
bones as it brings flexibility and endurance.
Ditching certain habits: Alcohol, drugs, and
smoking gives nothing more than a kick for that
moment. We are all aware that excessive
consumption may create hostile health conditions
that may lead to life-threatening diseases. A
wellness professional will always suggest ditching
these habits.

Sleeping enough: Sleep is a necessary human

activity that provides rest to the body and
supports crucial functions of the body.
2. Emotional

A holistic health will aim to achieve mindfulness

for their client. It is a state of self-awareness and
acceptance of one’s conditions and feelings.

Health programs that propose the following traits

in their client’s life:
Staying positive: It makes people realize the
importance of accomplishing life goals, feeling
positive and enthusiastic about their work and
life because negative approaches and thoughts
bring down confidence.

Fighting stress: Stress suppresses the mental

state because it takes away focus and makes a
person emotionally weak.
Having healthy relations: Having good
relations with family, friends, colleagues, and
society keeps a person joyful. Happy mind sprouts
positive and healthy thoughts.

Expression of feelings: For an individual, it is

vital to communicate feelings. If they face problems
in doing so, they should take professional help.
Open up to speak out the thoughts in mind will
flush them with negativity.
3. Intellectual

Intellectual wellness is achieved when a person is

able to do problem-solving, think creatively, and
shows an urge to learn more and more and stay
abreast with current affairs.

Just like physical fitness, even our minds need

some exercise. This stimulates and keeps the
brain sharp.
• Take a professional course or self-building
workshops.

• Learn new skills like languages, software, etc

• Read newspapers, industry magazines,

blogs, web articles, etc.

• Inspire to appreciate others and learn from

their achievements

• Cherish intellectual growth are good people

to keep company.
4. Social

Humans are social beings, and without society,

we are bound to lose connection with humanity.

A lot of people suffer from social anxiety or have a

lack of trust in others.

Make them understand the benefits of social

communication. A socially sound person will not
just take from society but also contribute to the
environment and people around him.
Such people follow the path of social responsibility.

To accomplish social wellness focus on:

• Enhancing communication skills

• Aid in building empathy towards others.
• Suggest steps to create intimacy and cultivate
healthy relationships.
• Push with confidence so that they can share
their talent and skills for the betterment of society.
• To avoid conflicts and maintain harmony.
5. Spiritual

Spiritual wellness is a vast sea of many thoughts.

It aims to find the meaning and purpose of

human life without or without following any
religion.

This helps a person connects to his inner self.

In spiritual wellness worthwhile things to do are:

• Have some quiet time and time to contemplate.

• Study the deeper meaning of their religion.

• Live life on their own principles and values

rather than following written rules.

• Bring out true self

• Always urge not to be afraid but seek

opportunities in the difficulties of life.
