I found out that there are several aspects you must work on in order to consider yourself truly healthy. Among them are obvious physical, but there’s also mental and spiritual to consider. If any of these is deficient, it could have serious repercussions in your life.

Ask yourself this, "Am I really healthy?"

Yes, you work out religiously. Yes, you eat chicken breasts, and egg whites, and you take your vitamins, and do everything else a “healthy” person is supposed to. But is there anything you’re missing?

Let me ask you this: how often do work on relieving stress from your life? How often do you work on building positive relationships? How often do you seek to build spirituality in your life?

These are just some of aspects you must work on if you’re searching for true, and total health. Holistic doesn’t have to have a negative meaning. It can simply mean a philosophy of well-being that considers physical, mental and spiritual aspects of life as being closely interconnected and balanced. I cover all of these points, and several more in my book, "5 Keys To Health: A Holistic Approach." I show you how to apply holistic approach to health without any of metaphysical mumbo jumbo.

Take it from me, a one-time skeptic. "Holistic" doesn’t have to be a four-lettered word. It can be something positive that will help you create a fuller, healthier life.

4. The right nutritional balance is one that suits your personal circumstances.

How much of each food group you eat depends on a host of factors including age, sex, health and level of physical activity. When choosing meals and snacks, take account of following key principles of sound nutrition:

- Eat a variety of foods.

- Apply moderation to your consumption of junk foods.

- Choose natural and lightly processed foods as often as possible.

- Do not over cook.

5. Support a nutritious diet with a few carefully chosen supplements.

Following a nutritious diet is essential for good hair health, but on its own this may not be sufficient for a number of reasons:

- Modern farming methods may deplete nutrient quality of food.

- High stress levels may diminish nutrients in your body.

- Dieting may affect nutrient levels.

- Aging reduces ability of our bodies to utilize certain nutrients.

- Exercise can deplete some nutrients.

It may be sufficient to supplement with a well-balanced multi-vitamin / mineral product but a number of products are available that specifically cater for requirements of healthy hair.
