, ANSWER: C n




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




health:physicalhealth,intellectualhealth, emotionalhealth,socialhealth,spiritual health,and
n n n n n n n n n n n n




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




a course in general nutrition helps develop intellectual health; buying locally produced food helps
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




develop environmental health; being part of a faith-based organization helps develop spiritual health;
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




and keeping a journal helps develop emotional health. The missing dimension in this example is
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




development of social health; eating meals with friends throughout the week would add this
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




dimension. Growing her own food would be another example of environmental health; keeping a food
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




record would be another contributor to physical health; and meeting with a registered dietitian may
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




contribute to physical, intellectual, and emotional health.

d.extremelylowbloodpressure n n n




ANSWER: D
n n




Poor eating habits affect emotional health. Missing meals may cause blood sugar levels to decrease,
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




which can cause anxiety or confusion or make it difficult to control emotions. Late night binges on snack
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




food arelikelyto result in excessive energyintake but would havea less direct effect on emotional health.
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




Eating small meals throughout the day is likely to maintain more constant blood sugar levels, which
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n




would actually have a positive effect on emotional health. Excessive caffeine consumption may
n n n n n n n n n n n n n




contribute to anxiety, but 2 cups of caffeinated coffee is not considered excessive.
