The Pillars Of A Healthy Functional Body. The systems approach to the mind, body and soul connections.

The body is a system as a whole and should be seen as such.

To make it simpler I divided it into four pillars, these are viewed separately but within the overall system as they are linked together.

The pillars centers around the body, mind and soul connection.

It’s important to get everything working together.

A healthy body need a healthy mind and the other way round. So basically everything starts with your mind, your intentions and your behavior.

And yes genes and social environment plays a big part on this as well, but not like you think. More to that later.

Every pillar of it’s own can stand for itself, but putting it altogether accelerates your way to a healthy functional body.

What does health even means, in the systems view it means everything works properly in synchronization and there is no lack of anything or close to no lack.

The four pillars are:

Within every pillar there are many things everyone should consider about their own health and therefor also contact a doctor or physician.

And Then We Know These Stuff, But Still Can’t Make It Work For Us.

But some are doing all the proper things and have build their own working pillars and never achieved the things they want, blaming anything they can find. This misplaced blame can be seen in the area of health and wellness, where many people are doing all the right things but don’t get the results they want.

They may follow a strict diet, exercise regularly, and practice good sleep hygiene yet still feel tired and unwell. When this happens, they often start looking for a scapegoat—DNA, society, or anything else that might explain their situation. But what is more likely is that one or more of the four pillars of a healthy functional body have been neglected.

It is important to look at each pillar individually to determine if it needs extra attention in order to reach an optimal level of health and well being. For example, nutrition should include not only eating healthy food but also making sure to get enough essential vitamins and minerals from dietary sources or supplements as needed.

Exercise should move beyond just going on regular walks – strength training may need to be incorporated into weekly routines in order for muscles to build strength over time so that other activities such as hiking become easier for someone who wants to take up outdoor activities later on.

Looking at each pillar separately can help uncover any potential areas of neglect which could then be addressed accordingly for overall better health outcomes.

Let’s start with the obvious the weight, this is by far the easiest to see and feel. There are many ways to define what’s the ideal weight or how someone should look. To be fair to all, let’s define a healthy body weight with the ability to use the body to do all activities (within reasons) and be able to enjoy it.

So then there are people with heavy bones and a different build on the same level. Extreme sports and activities are left aside for now. We can talk about the overall capabilities of a the human body later after we defined a few specifics.

The weight of an individual is a crucial factor in determining overall health and fitness. It’s important to maintain a healthy body weight range for your age, gender, and height. Being underweight or overweight can both lead to serious health issues such as diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis and cancer.

When it comes to getting into shape, consistency plays a very important role. Consistent exercise will help you reach your goals faster than if you sporadically exercise without any clear routine or goal in mind. Regular strength training is highly recommended as it helps build muscle mass which boosts metabolism and improves posture as well as balance.

Additionally, taking breaks between exercises allows for proper recovery so that one does not over use their muscles which can lead to injury or strain over time resulting in decreased performance rather than increased results. There are people that defend their extended self and swear that they don’t want to loose weight, but can’t move and do the things they love properly.

That’s why everything above doesn’t work when there is to much going on in the mind. Within my secret reports email series I explain how minimalism connects all these pillars and provides a robust and solid foundation for a healthy and functional body.
