A Message from our CEO Salus Well Being Magazine is committed to becoming your reading therapy and authoritative resource with informative, practical articles on the dimensions of wellbeing that impacts wellness and health.

Life is not just about surviving, it is experiences and a series of choices about who you want to be, how you want to feel and the way you want to live.

You may ask, “what is it to be a well being”?

Health and Wellness… ‘it is a pain’!

As a society we take better care of our cars, pets, and toys than we do ourselves. We often sacrifice sleep, regular meals, and exercise in pursuit of our goals. Our immune systems are weakened when we do not eat right, nor get enough exercise or sleep, when we are exposed to

To add to this we manoeuvre between work, home and school. It must be reiterated here and reference to numerous research papers that the advancement of technology even in the homes, motorisation, sedentary lifestyles and a drastic decrease in the consumption of fruits and vegetables coupled with more than the equivalent increase in sugars and refined

Having and maintaining a healthy lifestyle is a difficult one as we are constantly bombarded with advertisements that entice us with images and the promise of rewards for our taste buds.

Snacks, sweetened beverages and sodium packed items (sometimes emboldened with the words “Healthy or Organic on the carton), are our daily temptations often strategically placed at eye level on grocery shelves.

“With the increase in modern technology, movement has drastically decreased.”

“We often sacrifice sleep, regular meals, and exercise in pursuit of our goals.”

Many live a sedentary life where they sit for a minimum of an hour in the vehicle to get to and from their destination, a minimum of eight hours daily at the desk at work, then for a minimum of two hours daily to eat and drink, then to watch television for a minimum of three hours before bed and

Furthermore, there is the good, the bad and the ugly. Yes, technology, with its labour-saving devices that should increase our time for ourselves and our family so that we can do the things we enjoy! Right?

With the increase in modern technology, movement has drastically decreased as well as, the increase in foods with longer shelf life and artificial additives. These foods excite our palate, foods that are good to our health are frowned upon, while we cringe at movement.

If this exposure has become so challenging for adults how are our children coping? The effects are devastating, just think of the impact on society when our children have become adults.

One can only imagine the burden on the country’s economic, social and environmental resources in the future. Children must not be forgotten in this melee. Teaching children how to eat healthily and exercise at a young age will help them stay healthy throughout their life.

HEALTH is defined by WHO (World Health Organisation) as: 1. Health is the absence of any disease or impairment.

2. Health is a state that allows the individuals to adequately cope with all demands of daily life (implying also the absence of disease and impairment.)

3. Health is a state of balance, an equilibrium that an individual has established within him/herself and between him/herself and the social and physical environment.

4. Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

Health is a continuous and participatory

WELLNESS is considered, “an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices toward, a more successful existence”. This definition is based on 3 tenets: 1. Wellness is considered a conscious, self-directed and evolving process of achieving full potential.

2. Wellness is multidimensional and holistic, encompassing lifestyle, mental and spiritual well-being, and the environment.

3. Wellness is positive and affirming.

Can stress affect health? Absolutely. It can affect physical, mental, and social well-being.

Can stress affect wellness? Yes, but only to a point, in that it can affect one’s perspective or dampen one’s energy, negatively influencing one’s commitment to self-care and the aim to achieve one’s fullest potential.

The difference between health and wellness, is that

wellness is always a matter of choice .

Every day we make choices to best sustain our physical, mental/emotional, and social well-being, and preserve the balance among these aspects of our health.

Optimal health comes from wellness, from making decisions and practicing behaviours that are based on sound health knowledge and healthful attitudes. The efforts and intelligent lifestyle choices to prevent stressors from wearing us down are an added benefit.

Life is a maze, Health is a Jigsaw Puzzle!

Living a healthy life can be quite the challenge.

Here are a few checkpoints to guide you: Do I engage in at least 30 total (consecutive) minutes of physical activity daily?

Do I eat a variety of healthy foods with adequate portions for my activity level?

Do I regularly get adequate sleep?

Maria is feeling grateful!

“Your health is indeed your wealth”! Cliché you think? You may not be convinced of this unless you have been truly sick and know what it is like to feel totally helpless and all you want in the world is to feel better. I recently had major surgery and my recovery was a lot slower than I anticipated it would be. In my moments of recovery, I remember how much I thought about life and how nothing else really mattered more than getting well.

When I was gifted a Platinum Gift Certificate from Salus Medical and Wellness Clinic I was beyond moved. I felt it was not only very thoughtful but extremely timely. I was not sure what to expect but I remained open minded.

My experience, though still ongoing, has been very rewarding thus far. For me, good health starts with a conditioning of the mind. I was certainly reminded of this on my first visit. I needed to decide that I wanted to be in better health and to position myself for the journey.

When I was told I would receive a full body medical examination and analysis to begin with, I did not think much of it. When this was done however, it blew my mind. The non-evasive procedure took about 30 minutes and was able to tell me EVERYTHING that needed attention in my body. Listen, the reading told me of my sins past and sins to come yes!

When I tell you EVERYTHING…I MEAN EVERYTHING! Every bacteria, infection, present injury, past injury, it was simply amazing to get such an in depth reading of my body. I would encourage people to get this testing done. Nothing beats KNOWING. Only then can you actively take steps to correct the issues. After receiving the results that blew me away. The means of addressing were also attained based directly on all the issues. The guidance in Wellness allows me to know exactly what path to take removing

I know exactly what my body needs on this journey and with the expertise of objective science results, complimented with expertise of the health care professionals at Salus Medical and Wellness Clinic, I feel confident to continue this journey towards restoration, with includes, but not exclusive to, Nutrition, Exercise, Stress management, Toxicological therapy and the like.

This is the uniqueness and sets it apart, as it incorporates several medical modules of conventional and alternative medicine.

Nicole Allsop walked me through every step. No short cuts! She is very thorough. I appreciate her attention to detail. Even when I had to go to the pharmacy to purchase certain things, she stayed on the phone with me. She had me send pictures of the bottle labels so she could read content to ensure I got the items best suited to treat my condition.

I am looking forward to this journey. I see it as that. It’s no overnight magic. It will take discipline, commitment and work. I am willing!

Subjective versus Objective

Dr. Artis Zuss

“Subjective measurements rely on human judgment, such as “How is your back pain today?”, often with great variability in reporting. Objective measurements are quantifiable, impartial, and recorded with a diagnostic instrument, such as an oximeter for blood oxygenation or wearable device to measure step count.”

Exercise and Mental Health " Throughout history many societies, ancient and modern, have used exercise as a means of preventing disease and promoting health and wellbeing. There is evidence that exercise is beneficial for mental health; it reduces anxiety, depression, and negative mood, and improves self ‐esteem and cognitive functioning. Exercise is also associated with improvements in the quality of life of those living with Schizophrenia. However, exercise is seldom recognised by mainstream mental health services as an effective intervention in the care and treatment of mental health problems. There is evidence to suggest that exercise may be a neglected intervention in mental health care." Callaghan, P. “Exercise: a Neglected Intervention in Mental Health Care?” Wiley Online Library. John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, July 14, 2004. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/.../j.1365-2850.2004.00751.x Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing

Whether the ideas come to you in the day or during your quiet moments at night, the act of writing them down allows for productivity, better mental health and uninterrupted sleep.

beautiful notebook or planner.

How to start Journaling 1. Write it down. It helps process your feelings better. It is also easier to add drawings to paper but go with whatever is more comfortable and convenient for you.

It does not matter what you write on once you get your thoughts out.

3. Keep it simple. When you are starting out, keep it simple.

Journal only for a few minutes, setting a timer as your guide.

4. Make it a habit. Pick a time of the day that is good for you. It could be the first thing you do when awaken or the last thing prior to bed.

5. Get creative. You might not be sure where to start with journaling. It does not have to be just about writing sentences. Try different formats such as writing lists, poetry, composing a song, writing a letter, drawing some art, or journaling with bullet points.

6. Start a gratitude journal. If you feel thankful, write it down. Giving thanks is good for your mental health. One of the best ways to show thankfulness and increase one’s happiness on a daily basis is to keep a gratitude journal. Start off by listing three things that you are grateful for. These can be small things like taking a walk, a delicious cup of pumpkin spice, or good weather. You can make a list or write full sentences. Details may help you relive the positive moments of your day. By expressing gratitude, it reduces stress, increases optimism, and changes your way of thinking.

When you have a problem and you are stressed, keeping a journal can help you identify what is causing that stress or anxiety. Once you have identified your stressors, you can work on a plan to resolve the problems and reduce your stress. Keep in mind that journaling is just one aspect of a healthy lifestyle for better managing stress, anxiety, and mental health conditions.

DIY Wills, “Homemade” Wills do not hold up in court. In a court’s decision with an invalid Will, the default is to revert to an earlier Will or declare intestate.

Seniors are dear to us, often loneliness and social isolation go hand in hand and undetected. “Being alone and loneliness are different but related. Social isolation is the objective physical separation from other people (living alone), while loneliness is the subjective distressed feeling of being alone or separated. It is possible to feel lonely while among other people, and you can be alone yet not feeling lonely.” John T.

Conversely, people who engage in meaningful, productive activities with others tend to live longer, boost their mood, and have a sense of purpose. These activities seem to help maintain their well-being and may improve their cognitive function, studies show, according to the National Institute for Aging.

There are different types of travel, family, solo, group, romance (which is my specialty,) religious, https://www.inspirationaltravelplus.com/ Getting out and about and travelling not only benefits your physical health, but also your mental health. Most of us ‘live to work’ and not ‘work to live.’ Travelling is all about relaxation, rejuvenation, indulgence and escape. You benefit because: *It helps you feel calm. By exploring a new destination, you release the tension and stress that you have been holding on to. *It allows you to reset your mental mindset thereby improving your emotional and physical health. You will feel a positive impact on your return. It also improves your mental power. *It increases your creativity. Going out and about and exploring boosts your creative mind because you are relaxed and see things differently. You are exposed to new culture, scenery, language, cuisine, people and music.

cruises including river cruises and there are many more. However, since the pandemic, another type of travel has come to light and that is medical travel including health and well-being. This is where you travel to a destination for medical purposes, for example medical intervention and wellness treatment, dietary advice and intervention, illness prevention, disease treatment, full body diagnostic examinations and results.

Some people may think that the actual planning is frustrating and how can that benefit your health.

This is where a travel specialist (Inspirational Travel Plus,) and the health specialist (Salus Medical and Wellness Clinic,) can assist you. We will take away all the stress and anxiety so that you can have a health, relaxed and stress-free getaway.

Travel is an investment, not an expense just like our health. So let us combine the two and have a health and wellness as well as a romantic getaway. Like our health, we must nurture and take care of all aspects of our well-being for a lifestyle that benefits us.

Squash? What is Squash you might be asking yourself!

“It is one of the most fantastic sports ever invented!”

I admit this sounds incredibly biased, but it reflects the absolute passion and love that I have developed for the sport. The pleasure attained when training children as young as five years old and active seniors in their 80’s is beyond words. Seeing each group through the life cycles, for recreation as well as for competitions, as they share the common joys of the Squash game is unlike any other sport that I have witnessed.

A trip down memory lane My introduction to Squash dates back twentysix years ago to Saturday, 21st September 1996. I vividly remember this date as it coincided with my 13th birthday, one of the best days of my life. My parents took me to the Queen’s Park Cricket Club to participate in the Jacko Juniors Squash Programme. The first day was a phenomenal experience for me primarily due to
