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: physical health, intellectual health, emotional health, social health, 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;
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
taking a course in general nutrition helps develop intellectual health; buying locally produced food
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
helps develop environmental health; being part of a faith-based organization helps develop spiritual
n n n n n n n n n n n n n
health; and keeping a journal helps develop emotional health. The missing dimension in this example
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
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

ANSWER: D

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
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
snack food are likely to result in excessive energy intake but would have a less direct effect on
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
emotional health. Eating small meals throughout the day is likely to maintain more constant blood
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
sugar levels, which would actually have a positive effect on emotional health. Excessive caffeine
n n n n n n n n n n n n n n
consumption may contribute to anxiety, but 2 cups of caffeinated coffee is not considered excessive.
