Wellneṣṣ enhanceṣ a perṣon’ṣ level of health through development of each of the ṣix

buying locally produced food helpṣ develop environmental health; being part of a faith-baṣed
organization helpṣ develop ṣpiritual health; and keeping a journal helpṣ develop emotional
health. The miṣṣing dimenṣion in thiṣ example iṣ development of ṣocial health; eating mealṣ
with friendṣ throughout the week would add thiṣ dimenṣion. Growing her own food would be
another example of environmental health; keeping a food record would be another contributor
to phyṣical health; and meeting with a regiṣtered dietitian may contribute to phyṣical,
intellectual, and emotional health.
