A Healthier You – Understanding the Importance of Holistic Wellness

Holistic wellness comprises several different aspects. We explain its importance in healthcare.

At Matakana Pharmacy and PracPharm, we aim to remove barriers to achieving holistic wellness for our patients and customers. We believe the best way to better health and wellbeing is by using all the ‘wellness tools’ in our toolbox to craft a lifestyle that encourages healthy living and longevity. Holistic wellness tools include exercise, nutrition, supplementation, advice, and - if necessary - medical intervention. Our ultimate focus is on preventative care to help make you the healthiest version of yourself possible. Learn about the importance of holistic wellness, and how to implement these practices in your own health.

What is Holistic Wellness?

Wellness is different for different people, but we can agree on common goals: a healthy mind and body and more time spent with loved ones or doing the hobbies we love. How holistic wellness will look to someone differs depending on circumstances. At Matakana Pharmacy and PracPharm, the goal is to help you achieve these wellness goals as you have classified them for yourself. For some, it’s a focus on gut health; for others, it’s less stress; and for many, it’s an overall feeling of health and wellbeing. A key mindset is to focus on preventative care as well as treatment. Avoiding the issue is usually easier and more fulfilling than waiting for the problem to occur before taking an active stance against it and treating it reactively.

Healthcare without holistic wellness is incomplete. In our humble opinion, just treating problems or diseases is not enough. It is imperative to focus on preventative care as part of wellness, using lifestyle intervention as a key tool.


Tips for Achieving a Holistic Approach to Health and Wellness

Lifestyle is the first and most important step to improving holistic wellness. Optimising how we live and spend our day does most of the heavy lifting to help us live healthier lives.

Eating nutritious foods, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, prioritising time away from work, and making time for leisure activities and hobbies are all important aspects. Actively working to reduce stress levels, and supplementing with high-quality nutrients, vitamins, and minerals can also help support the body and immunity during periods of stress. Stay hydrated, practice mindfulness, connect with others around you, and seek professional advice or help when needed. We all need a helping hand sometimes, even when we are superheroes.

Remember that achieving wellness of the body and the mind is a long journey without a destination. It will require constant and consistent effort and work. Incorporate these tips into your routine, and you can achieve great harmony and balance in your life.
