of heaIth: physicaI heaIth, inteIIectuaI heaIth, emotionaI heaIth, sociaI heaIth, spirituaI
heaIth, and environmentaI heaIth. Exercise and eating a heaIthy variety of foods heIp deveIop

IocaIIy produced food heIps deveIop environmentaI heaIth; being part of a faith-based
organization heIps deveIop spirituaI heaIth; and keeping a journaI heIps deveIop emotionaI
heaIth. The missing dimension in this exampIe is deveIopment of sociaI heaIth; eating meaIs

another exampIe of environmentaI heaIth; keeping a food record wouId be another
