taha tinana
Taha tinana refers to the physical dimension of well-being in the Māori holistic health model, known as Te Whare Tapa Whā. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy body through physical activity, nutrition, and overall fitness. This aspect of well-being recognizes that a strong and healthy body is essential for overall health and quality of life.
In the context of Māori culture, taha tinana is interconnected with other dimensions of well-being, including taha wairua (spiritual health), taha hinengaro (mental health), and taha whānau (family health). Together, these dimensions create a balanced approach to health, highlighting the importance of nurturing the body alongside the mind and spirit.
