Dear World
For the Record
This website has written about GLOBAL WELLNESS and continues to add comments relevant to this topic.
However, some of us are referring to the same thing but under the names of Health and Well Being.
We are now at the point where everyone seems to be talking about Health and Well Being and it is a HOT topic.
The word WELLNESS IS associated with Health and Well Being.
What on Earth does that mean to each and every one of us as individuals on this plane of life?
WELL BEING
What does that mean?
We are a Being – a Human Being.
A Being that breathes, eats, talks and sleeps.
What is it to be a WELL Being?
The words WELLNESS OR WELL BEING are fairly new as back in the old days they were not part of the everyday language.
We all know what it is to be UNWELL as we each have our own list.
How do we ensure a life where we have QUALITY of Health and not just some Tick Box list to Action every day?
How do we become fit and sustain that no matter what life brings or throws at us?
Global Wellness Economy
$6.8 TRILLION
By 2029
$9.8 TRILLION
Wellness Economy Sectors:
- Wellness Real Estate
- Wellness Tourism
- Personal Care & Beauty
- Physical Activity
- Healthy Eating, Nutrition & Weight Loss
- Mental Wellness
- Public Health, Prevention & Personalized Medicine
- Traditional Complementary Medicine
- Spas

We are told that Wellness is a MASSIVE economic force which now surpasses Global mega–industries, including:
$2.7 TRILLION – Sports
$5.0 TRILLION – Tourism
$5.3 TRILLION – IT
$1.8 TRILLION – Pharmaceutical Industry
Trends fuelling the Wellness Industry will continue to accelerate because we have –
- Ageing Population
- Rampant Chronic Disease
- Mental Unwellness
- Market focused on Prevention and Longevity
Wellness Real Estate will remain the #1 growth leader doubling in size in the next 5 years. (1)
What is Wellness Real Estate for those of us that are unsure?
The Global Wellness Institute defines Wellness Real Estate as:
Built Environments proactively designed, built and operated to support the Holistic Health of Occupants, Visitors and the Community.
Wellness Real Estate projects must be designed and built in a manner that facilitates and optimizes their occupants’ Health and Well Being across multiple dimensions of Wellness.
6 Dimensions of Wellness Real Estate
- Physical
- Mental & Spiritual
- Social
- Economic & Financial
- Environmental
- Civic & Community (2)
Most of us associate Wellness or Well Being with spas, retreats, getting active and fit, losing weight or getting some rest as we feel Stressed, burnout and Exhausted every day.
Now we have the booming Wellness Real Estate sector taking the lead BECAUSE we want the getaway, escape and Holiday or time off to regenerate, rejuvenate and revitalise in a space that will take care of all our needs and fix us with Solutions.
Where is this going and where are we going to get the monies to fund this new Trend that we all seem to want?
Some can afford it and that’s their Lifestyle but not all are able to fund this new type of Holiday where the Focus is on getting well because we have established we are unwell.
Our bodies were never designed to Struggle or be fatigued.
We are living and moving in a way every day that is causing this and we all know that.
Stress was not even a word we had in the past and now the whole world and the kids are complaining about Stress.
Read our article on Stress and answer every Question presented.
WHY do so many of us book these wellness retreats to bring changes to our body and life and return soon after to get back into Work and everyday life and not sustain the benefits we received?
What we seem to desire and want is anything that is not Simple and Basic as we find that very unstimulating and does not hold our Focus or attention.
This is worth pondering on as it speaks volumes.

We have under the banner of Traditional and Complementary Medicine –
- Herbal medicines getting infused in more products and supplements because this category includes longevity and biohacking approaches.
- Infra-Red Light Therapy to Cryotherapy
- IV drips in Fitness/Wellness Centers, Spas and Resorts (1)
Powerful Annual Growth in last 5 years were:
- 26% Cannabis Products
- 9% Meditation and Mindfulness
- 6% Sleep
USA – Mental Wellness market is ahead of other countries. (1)
WHY do we have a MULTI TRILLION DOLLAR industry trying to give us the answers?
WHY is it not working because we now have MORE Illness and Disease escalating than ever before?
WHY are we going to quick fix and make ourselves feel better without asking some REALLY SERIOUS Questions?
How on earth did we become unwell in the first place?
What happened when we initially got the Signs?
YES – we can pretend, deny or Ignore anything we want but if we did Stop long enough to Pause and reflect back we would know exactly when it was.
For those that will continue to say ‘Don’t Know, Not Aware’ – how about Changing now and asking ‘How did it get to this point’?
Seeking outer things be it anything from the catalogue under the banner of Health, Well Being and Wellness to make us feel good, better, healthier or whatever it is may not be the answer.
If it was, can we ask WHY are more people Sick today than ever before?
WHY are we self–medicating with what we can grab out there to take away our internal state that cannot settle?
HELLO
We need to wake up and stop falling for the short-term fixes that suit our Lifestyle.
We have this Body and it is a vehicle that has a job to do until its last breath.
We may be the type that wants a Fast trashy life and let the taxes we paid our insurance or Health system for take care of the latter years.
But where is the QUALITY of life if ill Health is what is coming and this is inevitable?
WHY Focus on ways to look younger and pump UNNECESSARY monies we do not have on doing what it costs to get the Social Media photo perfecto? WHY?
WHY is the Body image we seek such a Priority in our life before the 101 Basics?
WHY are we seeking Cosmetic Surgery for the odd tweakment and before we know it we have DEBT growing as we want the next thing done to change our Body as it needs to look a certain way?
When did this image of looking this way or that way become the primary Focus of our life?
WHY are we relying on influencers on our Social Media to feed us what we know is not sustainable?
WHY are so many MORE young people getting Diseases that in the past were only associated with the older generations?
WHY are we coming back from a long Holiday and immediately booking the next and the next?
WHY are multiple Holidays what we Demand now every year and it is still not enough as we come back Tired?
WHY are we willing to get into Financial Struggle because the Wellness industry is selling us something that is supposedly going to Change everything?

Workplace Wellness
Workplaces are calling for Wellness, which means Well Being for employees as they recognise a gap and this topic needs to be addressed as it affects productivity.
How can our employers Maximise Productivity with their workforce regardless of the size of the company or how many employees they have?
How can we get the workforce back on Track where they actually ENJOY working and doing the job they are paid to do without any Agenda?
How can we address the Sleeplessness which is a plague of our modern society today?
How can we EDUCATE everyone using a device that Screen Time is NOT a Health and Well Being tool if used for anything other than purpose?
How can we ever get to the point where Alarm Clocks are not needed and how far are we really away from that now?
How can we make life Simple and Practical at Home and Work or school as it really is just all part of the one life?
How can we live in a way that does not allow Stress to enter our orbit because we know how to address it should it even come near us?
NEXT –
As the author of over 350 articles on the subject of Health and Well Being, it would be true to say that SLEEP is at the top or more to the point our LACK of Sleep needs to be addressed as a PRIORITY.
Our human body was designed where we have an internal body clock called the Circadian clock which does a grand job if we align to it.
Starting off as babies this seems to be adhered to but very soon after for most, with the current new parenting styles, this is not taken seriously and we now have Screens for any age including babies and toddlers.
SLEEP IS PRIORITY
Title of our next book to be published and this is simply because it is such a SERIOUS topic related to our Health and Well Being.
The above is a Reality Check that is now needed.
We are as a race of beings getting sicker and sicker and our Solutions are simply not cutting it.
Good old fashion common sense is no longer common or entertained as we want to trash our bodies and then find ways to fix them.
The TRILLION dollar numbers would not make any sense to most of us but here we have right now in this world in 2026 a Global Industry for Health and Well Being called Wellness for
$6.8,000,000,000,000
$6.8 TRILLION
What does that mean to us and do we really care when we just booked another Spa retreat that is going to massage and infuse us with IV drips to get the Sleep we are so deprived of and then it is magically going to send us back home with our brain configured to go to bed Early and stop the Screen Time that has been consuming us during wind down and bed time every day.
Add to that the images we got when we booked the most expensive retreat on the plastic card – having MORE energy, MORE vitality, MORE things we could now do as the Fatigue and Exhaustion is going to somehow disappear. It better do as the price is way too much and above budget but hey ho we want Change. REALLY?
We cannot ever Blame anyone for anything.
We need to simply take Responsibility for our behaviours and that means our movements.
There would NEVER be a 6.8 TRILLION dollar industry for all things Health, Well Being and Wellness if we, YES we and that means all of us did not make the DEMAND first.
There are no suppliers that could bring out the next powder, jab, IV drip, gummies, diet, product or service without us making the DEMAND first. It really is that Simple.
What we seem to overlook or not be interested in is WHY we never Question that we give it a go but nothing seems to be sustainable.
WHY is that and WHY have we just continued to seek the next and then the next without any Real long–term results?
FOR THE RECORD
Simple Living Global are claiming to be World Leaders in the sphere of Health and Well Being.
WHY and what gives them the Power and Authority to make such a big claim?
Firstly, we DO NOT ADVERTISE or do any form of Marketing.
Never have we paid to get Internet searches higher or any other kind of nonsense like that.
We have 350 articles published across 33 categories on Health and Well Being on this website.
The author does daily research and ADDs comments relating to the articles to keep readers up to date on the topics.
They have published 2 Books in the past year from their
Real Truth Series.
The Real Truth about Headaches
The Real Truth about Migraine
Book 2 is DOUBLE the volume of Book 1 and is an Encyclopaedia.
Both books have a Final Chapter titled
THE IMPORTANCE OF SELF CARE
These chapters relate to all areas of Self Care and it offers by way of presentation Practical tools that can be applied to everyday living.
Books 3 and 4 will be coming out in the next year.
SLEEP IS PRIORITY
The Real Truth about Sleep
Scholars ought to study this website and ask how on earth does one author and an editor upload so much content in a decade and keep going with no signs of slowing down, taking a break or Giving Up?
SIMPLE LIVING GLOBAL are here for the long haul and they will never give up on Humanity.
They simply respond to what is going on in the world and then present Another Way in the usual take it or leave it style of the author and founder Bina Pattel.
When this woman in her mid–60s presents to any audience of any size, there is no pre rehearsed script, there is no Fake and Phony talk or BS of any kind. She delivers in her Straight talk style and says it how it is with no fluff on absolutely ANY topic relating to Health and Well Being.
Bina Pattel claims that she IS the living science of what it is TRULY like to live with real Purpose and have a body that has vitality and sass with no signs of ageing or emphasis or effort or expectation on how things are going to be in the future.
She lives and breathes what she writes and this is WHY the reader can take away the very essence of what is coming through her and be able to make Changes that are Real, Simple, easy and sustainable.
This website is dedicated to presenting Another Way to live and after 10 years it is clear we have True Success BECAUSE we are the living evidence of what TRUE HEALTH AND WELL BEING IS and we do not need anything or anyone out there to confirm what we know.
Anyone can bring out a product or service or supply something dodgy/illegal and profit under the hood of WELLNESS or WELL BEING, but track the results and then track long term how well are those that subscribed to the product or service.
It is high time we wake up and get the Reality Check that all may not be as it is marketed, advertised or sold to us.
Simple Living Global IS the Real Deal.
