Major Pillars of Wellness
We are witnessing a significant shift away from conventional medicine and towards an ongoing wellness lifestyle. The "outside-in" allopathic model of disease-care is being superseded by the "inside-out" wellness model of health care. It is increasingly clear that Americans have made the decision to take greater responsibility for their health and their quality of life. This is commonly known today as the "wellness revolution".
The principles are based on having a profound respect for the body's ability to heal itself. People have been teaching this core principle for thousands of years. Traditional health care is really a sickness business that medicates and operates on our symptoms of poor health. Headache...take some aspirin. Stiff neck... anti-inflammatory and pain pill. Heartburn...antacids. Appendicitis...remove it, "we don't really need that anyway!".
Fueled by the information age and aging Baby Boomers, the idea of wellness, of focusing on staying healthy, is gaining prevalence. Accoring to journalist Anna Quindlen, the greatest advance in health care in our lifetime has not been transplants or new pharmaceuticals: it has been the rise of the informed consumer.
In the past people who chose to breast feed, exercise daily, meditate, take vitamins, and/or go to the chiropractor on a regular basis would be scoffed at for being "health nuts". Today, it is the people who do not participate in these types of activities who are considered to be out of step. Americans have become increasingly obsessed with health and with maximizing their quality of life.
