environmental health. Exercise and eating a healthy variety of foods helpdevelop 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-basedorganization helps develop spiritual
health; and keeping a journal helps develop emotional health. The missing dimension in this example
