Physical Well-being

Physical well-being is practicing self-care for the needs of your body. This includes physical activity, balanced nutrition, getting adequate sleep, and avoiding harmful behaviors.

Physical wellness also includes a personal responsibility to understand your body’s warning signs and recognize when you are ill and in need of medical attention.
