In today's fast-paced and increasingly complex world, medical science and the evolution of unique models for health care are bringing us closer to truly personalized medicine. Given these evolving trends, the need for a comprehensive and dynamically responsive plan for your health is even more important.

Self-Care resonates deeply in all aspects of your health and well-being, and is reflected in lifestyle, priorities, motivation, and habits. Recognizing the impact of lifestyle on your basic health, and how it supports basic functions in your life, allows you to rebuild a healthier life from the ground up.
The Wheel of Health identifies seven categories of self-care:

Movement, Exercise and Rest: Activities of daily living like cleaning and gardening as well as dancing, yoga, walking, running, cycling balanced with adequate rest and relaxation.
