Physical Wellbeing

Physical well-being is about your overall physical health and fitness. It includes maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, good sleep, and a balanced diet, and is crucial for quality of life which can boost mental and emotional well-being.

Physical well-being is marked by high energy, a strong immune system, a lower risk of chronic diseases, and the ability to perform daily tasks easily. Promoting it means staying active, eating well, getting enough rest, and taking preventive healthcare measures like vaccinations and screenings.
