A Healthy Soul in a Healthy Body

Healthy mind and a healthy body are the focus of my blog.

I am a big fan of ASICS sneakers. While lacing up my running shoes, I wondered what the name stood for. After a brief search I was struck by the answer. ASICS stands for the latin phrase "anima sana in corpore sano" which tranlates as "a healthy soul in a healthy body," a philosophy of wellness that mirrors my own.

My blog posts and published articles revolve around wellness and the need for better workplace wellness programs. A balanced approach to wellness is the best way to succeed in improving wellness; this includes diet control, exercise, habits control, and stress relief. If people refocus themselves on improving their mind and body, they will become less suceptible to preventable diseases, require fewer doctors office visits, and fewer drugs, which will lower both long and short term health costs.
