Physical Well-being
Physical well-being is more than the absence of disease. At the 果冻传媒麻豆社 we recognize the importance of physical well-being and how it contributes to other areas of well-being. Physical well-being includes adequate activity and nutrition, sleep, and accessing medical resources when needed. Empowering students to enhance their physical well-being is an ongoing priority at the 果冻传媒麻豆社, and we’re fortunate to live in a healthy community with great access to recreation, leisure activities, and local food options.
Checking in with healthcare providers is also an important part of physical well-being. Regular health exams and tests can help find problems before they start. They also can help find problems early, when the chances for treatment and a cure are better. By getting the right health services, screenings and treatments, you are taking steps that help your chances for living a longer, healthier life.
