Healthy Living Warrior Wellness Dimensions



It is normal for us to collapse Healthy Living with Body Image. In fact, human beings are mentally and socially programmed to compare visual presentations to an ideal.  Mathematically, the brain is predisposed to find certain patterns & symmetries more pleasing to the eye.  We do it with everything - from fruit at the grocery store to bodies at the bar – comparing what’s in front of us to a mental picture of an “ideal”.

The Vitruvian Man, by Leonardo da Vinci, depicts the “ideal human body proportions”, based on geometry described by an ancient (we’re taking 20-30 BC sort of ancient here) Roman architect – Vitruvius.  Vitruvian Theory states that an architect should focus on three central themes when preparing a design.


Firmitas (strength)           Utilitas (functionality)           Venustas (beauty)


Theory can be a great tool to help understand things – AND – we can get so caught up in the tool that we lose sight of what was really important.  The image of the Vitruvian Man is so embedded socially in how we “should look” that we’ve lost sight of the underlying theory.  While we are not able to change the subconscious geometrical comparisons that the brain makes, we can take on living our lives in a way the combines critical themes for Health and Wellness that will make us all attractive human beings!
