When thinking about improving your health, you must take into account both physical and mental health.  Good physical health can provide a vibrant and energetic life.  Good mental health allows us a sense of well-being, positive self-esteem, and a great outlook on life.

When our mental health is in jeopardy, it directly affects our physical health.  Mental stress greatly affects our physical self, negatively affecting the hormones that influence almost every organ and function in the body. 

Improving your physical health can have a direct impact on your mental well-being as well. The best way to ensure a healthy mind is to reduce or relieve stress.  Some sources of stress should be eliminated if possible, while others may be partly out of your control.  Job stress, for example, cannot always be eliminated.   If this is the case, you should look for ways to reduce your stress or even consider another position if you find your physical health is adversely affected.
