Integrate your health in 2026

Integrate Your Health in 2026                                          [Bulletin date: January 11, 2026]

Being healthy doesn’t mean just having regular medical check-ups.  It includes being healthy in mind and spirit too. By doing so, you may achieve a life full of joy, love, and a stronger connection to God. 

There are seven aspects of life that work together to achieve maximum health: friends & family, faith, movement, medical health, work, emotional health, and nutrition. Each one of these works with the others to help achieve overall health. This is known as health integration. 

For example, work may affect movement and nutritional health.  Emotions may affect physical or relationship health. And faith can have a positive influence on your medical and emotional health. 

So this year, make a resolution to better balance your overall health by considering the impact of each one of the seven categories mentioned above. Start with a few goals for one or two of the categories and then look forward to a healthier 2026.
