Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wellness enhances a person's level of health through development of each of the six dimensions of health: physical health,intellectual health,emotional health,social health,spiritual health,and environmental health.Exercise and eating a health variety of foods help develop physical health;taking a course in general nutrition helps develop intellectual health;buying locally produced food helps develop environmental health;being part of a faith-based organization helps develop spiritual health;and keeping a journal helps develop emotional health.The missing dimension in this example is development of social health;eating meals with friends throughout the week would add this dimension.Growing her own food would be another example of environmental health;keeping a food record would be another contributor to physical health;and meeting with a registered dietitian may contribute to physical,intellectual,and emotional health.
