Wellness vs Illness

Broadly, healthcare systems revolve around two domains of treatments. One is on prophylaxis or in simple words, preventive medication and second is disease or disorder treatment or illness treatment. Both have significant differences, and both are used at a different level of disorders. Let’s elaborate on both of these individually:

Wellness Medicines

We know these medicines as supplements. The body needs 21 types of nutrients known as amino acids which are important for the body to work properly and with accumulation of all these 21 amino acids, it gets highly ensured that body might remain disease free although you still might get diseased but the chances become minimal as these 21 amino acids when turn into nutrients have all the required immune cells to fight all the body damaging elements.

There are two types of amino acids known as essential and non-essential amino acids. The difference is that non-essential amino acids are mostly produced within the body only through the body metabolism and essential amino acids are the ones which we get from the food so the body is dependent on the food products to fulfill these. That is how our biology is formed. The problem is when the body is not able to get the regular supply of both kind of amino acids. We deprive ourselves from the essential amino acids just because of our food habits. Either some amino acids are not present in vegetarian food so hardcore vegetarian miss those and some amino acids are not properly absorbed in the body due to low quality of food items available today or excess use of preservatives and pesticides killing these amino acids. Non-essential ones also are not spared as some of them deplete in the body due their low production in the body either due to our body’s slow metabolism due being obese or sedentary lifestyle or they suffer due to some hormonal changes and stress factors in our day to day life.

As a result, the defense mechanism of our body weakens which lets the diseases and disorders enter and penetrate inside and leads us to short term as well as long term disease. It could be anything from short-term allergies and infections to chronic disorders like thyroid disorder, diabetes and arthritis etc. One very easy way to stay away from these problems is that we keep our body sufficiently fed with these 21 amino acids so we prevent these diseases to enter our body and the best way to do that is to take supplements which refill these essential and non-essential amino acids. A simple b complex tablet or capsule carries almost 10 essential and non-essential amino acids which is a very easy and convenient way to fill in the gap of the missing amino acids in the body. There are so many other supplements which can and should be taken. Not all are required to be taken together. You can always start with anyone and change it after a regular dose of 2-3 months. You must take your doctors advise so that best supplement can be chosen for you as per your specific needs.

Illness Medicines

And then ofcourse, there are illness medications which are given to treat any disease or disorder in the body. This ranges from a simple paracetamol given in a common headache to the complex therapeutic treatments given in problems like kidney disease or liver diseases. Although, this is not absolutely necessary but mostly, we get diseased when the wellness amino acids are not sufficient in the body. In most of the cases this must be inferred that illness does not strike us all of a sudden. It penetrates inside our body majorly due to our lifestyle loop hoes and a constant lack of certain wellness ensuring micro nutrients which together in the long run turn out to be a disease or disorder in our body.

Going through all that information, one must wish to remain on the wellness side of the medication as illness is something we all wish to stay away from. It could be significantly helpful to take a daily supplement after your doctors advise and remain more certain to be in the wellness zone. But you still might get ill which is completely natural and a doctor will help you to get rid of the illness and then restrike wellness in the body with the advise of lifestyle changes and of course some supplements.
