My Wellness Scorecard

The road to wellness doesn't have an end. It is a journey you will be on your entire life. Sometimes you might fall back a few paces, you might surge forward, or perhaps stay still for years. But how do we know if we're headed in the right direction? Often the signs that we are moving towards or away from wellness are obvious. But sometimes, when we think we've reached our destination, we are simply unaware of how much better life could be with a few simple wellness enhancements.

So how do we know where we fall on this wellness continuum? A simple but thorough online tool can help you find out. My Wellness Scorecard is a short questionnaire that examines your eating and exercise habits, supplement use and other lifestyle choices. Part of Life...supplemented, a wellness campaign presented by the Council for Responsible Nutrition and dietary supplement suppliers and manufacturers, My Wellness Scorecard's individual assessment provides personal tips on how to further enhance your health and wellness.

After answering questions in their 6-step process, My Wellness Scorecard tells users where they rank on their WELL scale from "OhWELL" (improvement needed!) to "AlphaWELL" (a vision of health). Life...supplemented believes their suggestions are do-able, easy to integrate into everyday life, and encourages users to discuss the results with their health care provider (a great idea before starting any new health regime).

We logged on to My Wellness Scorecard, along with some of our Naturally Savvy friends, and took the quiz. While nearly all of us consider ourselves to be health-conscious people, we all learned something new about our wellness levels. Everyone who answered the questions took away with them a helpful tip on how to make their life a little bit healthier. From getting more fiber to trying out yoga, all the suggestions were useful, easy to implement and suggested in a friendly manner.

What else did we love about My Wellness Scorecard? The questions were straightforward and easy to answer - this questionnaire will not take you long to do. The quiz covers a wide variety of wellness-related topics, and the information and suggestions presented at the end were clear and easy to understand. Overall, My Wellness Scorecard provided both a great user experience and valuable information. With a goal of helping people achieve their optimum health, My Wellness Scorecard gets the Naturally Savvy Seal of Approval.
