Wellness-Score — Wie gesund sind Sie insgesamt?

Wellness is a multidimensional state of physical, mental, and social wellbeing — not simply the absence of illness. It encompasses sleep, nutrition, movement, stress management, relationships, and purposeful living. The WHO defines health as a state of complete wellbeing, not merely the absence of disease.

Start with your lowest-scoring areas — that's where you'll get the biggest return. Sleep is almost always the highest-leverage starting point; improving it amplifies every other wellness metric. From there, work on nutrition, consistent movement, and stress management systems.

Sleep is foundational — it underpins energy, mood, immune function, cognitive performance, and hormonal balance. But all areas interact in feedback loops. Better movement reduces stress; improved nutrition supports sleep; stronger social connections buffer anxiety. Sustainable wellness is about balance, not optimising one thing.

Fitness is one dimension of wellness, specifically related to physical capacity — cardiorespiratory endurance, strength, flexibility, and body composition. Wellness is broader and includes mental health, nutrition, sleep quality, social connection, stress levels, and sense of purpose. You can be fit but not well, and vice versa.
