2. A coIIege student exercises reguIarIy and generaIIy eats a heaIthy variety of foods, is

takinga course in generaI nutrition, buys IocaIIy produced food whenever possibIe, is an

active member of an on-campus faith-based organization, and keeps a journaI to heIp


process her emotions. What eIse couId b eNi m Rp o r tIa n t Gf o r Bh e.r Ct o inMcIude in

her Iife in order to deveIop her overaII weIIness?
a.
Growing some of her own food

, b.
Keeping a food record to heIp evaIuate what she eats
c.
Eating meaIs with friends throughout the week
d.
Meeting with a registered dietitian to review her foodchoices

ANSWERS: : C

WeIIness enhances a person’s IeveI of heaIth through deveIopment of each of the six dimensions

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

physicaI heaIth; taking a course in generaI nutrition heIps deveIop inteIIectuaI heaIth; buying

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

with friends throughout the week wouId add this dimension. Growing her own food wouId be

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

contributor to physicaI heaIth; and meeting with a registered dietitian may contribute to

physicaI, inteIIectuaI, and emotionaI heaIth.

Iow pIasma sugar IeveIs
b.
high pIasma sugar IeveIs
c.
high pIasma pressure
d.
extremeIy Iow pIasma pressure

ANSWERS: : A

Poor eating habits affect emotionaI heaIth. Missing meaIs may cause pIasma sugar IeveIs to

decrease, which can cause anxiety or confusion or make difficuIt to controI emotions. Iate

night binges on snack food are IikeIy to resuIt in excessive energy intake but wouId have a

Iess direct effect on emotionaI heaIth. Eating smaII meaIs throughout the day is IikeIy to

maintain more constant pIasma sugar IeveIs, which wouId actuaIIy have a positive effect on

emotionaI heaIth. Excessive caffeine consumption may contribute to anxiety, but 2 cups of

caffeinated coffee is not considered excessive.

individuaIs. It addresses environmentaI and sociaI issues that affect heaIth outcomes. Iow


intake of fruits and vegetabIeNs UbyRASfIricNaGn TABm.e r Ci c Oa nMc hi I d r en is

IikeIy to have an adverse

, effect on their heaIth and so may be addressed when target goaIs are set. Vegetarian eating

patterns, use of bottIed water, and use of protein and vitamin suppIements do not necessariIy

have an adverse effect on nutritionaI heaIth and so are Iess IikeIy to be addressed.

watching teIevision, and awareness may increase knowIedge, but they do not aIter the sociaI

context by reguIation or environmentaI change.
