What is Physical Well-Being?
Physical Well-Being is the ability to actively make healthy decisions on a daily basis. It includes eating a nutritionally-balanced diet, getting adequate sleep, visiting the doctor routinely, maintaining positive interpersonal relationships, and making healthy sexual decisions consistent with individual values and beliefs. A physically-well individual exercises three to five times per week, limits or abstains from alcohol and drugs, possesses the ability to identify and fulfill personal needs, and is aware of and respects their body’s limitations.
