Healthy Living with MS
|
Wellness is a dynamic state of physical, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being that can be achieved even in the presence of a chronic illness or disability. |
For a person living with MS, the road to wellness involves more than treatment of the disease. Equally important are health promotion and prevention strategies, a strong support network of family and friends, satisfying work and leisure activities, a meaningful place in the community, and adequate attention to one's inner self.
Keep informed about MS and exercise, food and diet, preventive care, alternative medicine, and specific health issues for men and women.
