Abstract
“It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.”
Mahatma Gandhi
As the Coronavirus-COVID-19 spreads and communities respond with increasing protective measures, we must be mindful of the need to maintain our health and wellness through establishing new routines and practices to support healthy living.
Social distancing and shelter in place orders are changing the way we learn, work, socialise and ultimately how we take care of ourselves. With the shifts and changes to our daily life coupled with looming uncertainty about the future, many of us are feeling anxious and stressed. It’s now very necessary to focus only on how to care for ourselves and maintain our health and wellness during these difficult times, thus strengthening our immune system.
Health is a state of being, whereas wellness is the state of living a healthy lifestyle. Health refers to physical, mental, and social well-being; wellness aims to enhance well-being. Wellness is a concept at the forefront of health promotion. It has practical and therapeutic benefits applicable across a plethora of life domains. Existing literature has examined the phenomenon of wellness utilising subjective self-report; however, there is a gap in the literature in terms of objective measures of wellness. Given the link between health and wellness, it is critical to examine wellness domains as they correlate with overall health. Due to the complexity of wellness and its importance in regard to individual’s health, it is imperative to examine wellness not only from a subjective basis, but also in conjunction with objective explorations. Thus, the aim of this paper is to: 1) provide a comprehensive view of wellness and 2) propose new research directions in health-related research in combatting the challenge of covid-19 through health, hygiene and wellness.
