What is “wellness?” A healthy lifestyle leaves a person fit,
energetic and at reduced risk for disease. Good nutrition, daily exercise and
adequate sleep are essentials for good health. Managing stress in positive ways,
keeping your mind active – these components define wellness, but there are
more!
Cedarfield residents have been working with staff, offering
suggestions and ideas to develop the existing wellness program. While effective,
everyone agreed it was time to expand it. The Pathways to Wellness
initiative was introduced, which now includes nine components – Strength and
Endurance, Creative Expression, Intellectual Growth, Spirituality, Emotional
Balance, Community Outreach, Dining/Diet and Nutrition, Social Connections and
Brain Fitness. Staff plan programming to be equally balanced, supporting all
components for a healthy lifestyle!
