d. Meeting with aregistered dietitian to reviewher food choices


ANS: C

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 healthy 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.
