Wellness health is a state of optimal health, which means more than just the absence of disease or other disabilities. It is a state of well-being associated with high quality of life in all its areas.
This is the so-called holistic health (health in all areas of life – physical, mental and spiritual health). In the wellness philosophy, health is considered a natural state. This means that humans are naturally, genetically programmed to maintain constant health. To maintain homeostasis, which is a necessary condition for health. (Homeostasis is a state of balance of the internal environment of the human body). Disease, on the other hand, is an adaptation to a toxic, faulty or stressful environment.
Conventional medicine interprets this completely differently. Within conventional medicine, health is defined as the absence of disease or the absence of a diagnosed disease. Chronic diseases are seen as resulting from genes. People are seen as internally programmed for diabetes, obesity, heart disease, depression, cancer and other diseases.
Chronic diseases, illnesses and ailments are seen as congenital phenomena.
This is diametrically opposed to the idea of wellness, which sees people as genetically programmed for health;
Health is an innate phenomenon, not disease!
Both science and logic seem to support the wellness hypothesis. Chronic disease has been increasing at an alarming rate in recent decades. This cannot be due to genetics.
