2. A college student exercises regularly and generally eats a healthy variety of foods, is taking a
course in general nutrition, buys locally produced food whenever possible, is an active member
of an on-campus faith-based organization, and keeps a journal to help process her emotions.
What else could be important for her to include in her life in order to develop her overall
wellness?
a. Growing some of her own food
b. Keeping a food record to help evaluate what she eats

ANS: C
Wellness enhances a persons 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
ST
a registered dietitian may contribute to physical, intellectual, and emotional health.

Healthy People is used to set targets for health promotion to improve the health of all
individuals. It addresses environmental and social issues that affect health outcomes. Low intake
