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
ke eping 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 he alth; keeping a food record would be another contributor to physical
