experience that occurs through a daily activity. Attending a workshop or joining a support group
would be considered nonformal education; a high school course would be considered formal
education.

a. Growing some of her own food
, b. Keeping a food record to help evaluate what she eats
c. Eating meals with friends throughout the week
d. Meeting with a registered dietitian to review her 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.
