RESEARCH BRIEF
Wellness is an active, lifelong process of becoming aware of choices
and making decisions toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. Wellness
involves choices about an individual's life and their priorities that
determine their lifestyle and, more importantly, their health. In the
workplace, Corporate Wellness has been shown to have a Bottom-Line impact,
proving: Lower health care costs, reduced absenteeism, higher
productivity, reduced use of health care benefits, reduced worker's
compensation and disability management costs, reduced injuries and
increased morale and loyalty. Wellness (or Preventative Health Care) has
shown to reduce absenteeism in school-aged children.
Over the past
several years, researchers have found various compounds and herbals that
may help to prevent common illnesses and may even shorten the time that a
person experiences symptoms. By improving the overall health of the body's
immune system, individuals are better able to cope with common pathogens.
This change is an improvement in overall wellness. Research suggests that
by being "proactive" in health choices instead of "reactive," a person may
lead a healthier overall life. Treating a person when they are not ill may
be the ultimate in "health" care.
