How do you determine your current fitness and wellness status? Your doctor do not ask you every time you visit. How do you know if you are fit or if you are well? How can you measure the two?

It is important to know that being fit and being well is two entirely and mutually exclusive conditions. However, they are both essential in maintaining optimum health and vitality.

Many of us do not take the time to properly understand what is meant by being fit and being well. We don't even know what it takes to be fit and what it takes to be well.

Your fitness level can be reasonably be tested by a fitness counselor or certified fitness instructor at the local gym or fitness club.

Optimum functioning immune systems can determine you state of wellness. Vitamins supplementation and nutrition are also good indicators of your wellness. It is not uncommon for a fit person to be unwell and a very well person to be unfit. However, a state of balance is achieved when both wellness and fitness are at optimum levels in an individual body.

Nutritional intake directly affects our body's ability and the minds ability to remain well. This coupled with clean living, healthy eating, regular exercise will no doubt compliment that state of total fitness and wellness.

Spirituality is another important element when determining our wellness level. Spiritual reflection allows one to cleanse the body of the toxins of our daily life. Wellness is like an envelop that holds our complete state of being, mind and health. It's a condition of the whole mind, body and soul.

Finally, those who bound on keeping fit should also consider and pay close attention to their wellness and staying well. The ideal balance is struck when both are in sync and both are given equal attention. This is the only way to achieve a long, well, fit and healthy lifestyle.
