, ANSWER: C c




Wellness enhances a persons level of health through development of each of the six dimensions
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c



of health: physical health, intellectual health, emotional health, social health, spiritual health, and
c c c c c c c c c c c c c



environmental health. Exercise and eating a health variety of foods help develop physical health;
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c



taking a course in general nutrition helps develop intellectual health; buying locally produced
c c c c c c c c c c c c c



food helps develop environmental health; being part of a faith-based organization helps develop
c c c c c c c c c c c c c



spiritual health; and keeping a journal helps develop emotional health. The missing dimension in
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c



this example is development of social health; eating meals with friends throughout the week
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c



would add this dimension. Growing her own food would be another example of environmental
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c



health; keeping a food record would be another contributor to physical health; and meeting with
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c



a registered dietitian may contribute to physical, intellectual, and emotional health.

c c c


d.extremely low blood pressure c c c




ANSWER: D
c c




Poor eating habits affect emotional health. Missing meals may cause blood sugar levels to
c c c c c c c c c c c c c



decrease, which can cause anxiety or confusion or make it difficult to control emotions. Late
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c



night binges on snack food are likely to result in excessive energy intake but would have a less
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c



direct effect on emotional health. Eating small meals throughout the day is likely to maintain
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c c



more constant blood sugar levels, which would actually have a positive effect on emotional
c c c c c c c c c c c c c c



health. Excessive caffeine consumption may contribute to anxiety, but 2 cups of caffeinated
c c c c c c c c c c c c c



coffee is not considered excessive.
