What is MS WELLNESS INDIA?

FSSA already had an annual property – a contest by the name of MS FITNESS INDIA, which was started in the year 2015. After the success of the FSSA MS FITNESS INDIA, the team decided to reach out to a wider audience and hence MS WELLNESS INDIA came about.

It is an annual contest conceptualized, designed and formalized by FSSA Management with help from our external expert advisory board.

The mission of FSSA MS WELLNESS INDIA is to empower wellness, in the Indian subcontinent, via the medium of education, awareness and collaborations to / with the professionals, general public and corporate about preventive health and wellness.

Our vision is to be recognized as a premium annual property and authority dedicated to ensuring optimal well being for our country’s citizens and to contribute, significantly towards the country’s wellness economy.

Defining Wellness:

Wellness is a modern word with ancient roots. The key tenets of wellness as both preventive and holistic can be traced back to ancient civilizations from the East (India, China) to the West (Greece, Rome). In 19th-century Europe and the United States, a variety of intellectual, religious and medical movements developed in parallel with conventional medicine. With their focus on holistic and natural approaches, self-healing and preventive care, these movements have provided a firm foundation for wellness today.

Wellness can be defined as the active pursuit of activities, choices and lifestyles that lead to a state of holistic health.

There are two important aspects to this definition. First, wellness is not a passive or static state but rather an “active pursuit” that is associated with intentions, choices and actions as we work toward an optimal state of health and well being.

Second, wellness is linked to holistic health—that is, it extends beyond physical health and incorporates many different dimensions that should work in harmony.

Wellness is often confused with terms such as health, well being and happiness. While there are common elements among them, wellness is distinguished by not referring to a static state of being (i.e., being happy, in good health, or a state of well being). Rather, wellness is associated with an active process of being aware and making choices that lead toward an outcome of optimal holistic health and wellbeing.

Wellness Is Multidimensional

Wellness is about more than just physical health. Most models of wellness include, at least, the following 6 dimensions:

Physical: A healthy body through exercise, nutrition, sleep, etc

Mental: Engagement with the world through learning, problem solving, creativity, etc
Emotional: Being in touch with, aware of, accepting of, and able to express one’s feelings (and those of others).

Spiritual: Our search for meaning and purpose in human existence.

Social: Connecting with, interacting with, and contributing to other people and our communities

Environmental: A healthy physical environment free of hazards; awareness of the role we play in bettering rather than denigrating the natural environment.
