Wellness is a concept in which a person takes personal responsibility for his or her state of health. It is a preventive plan wherein a person makes an effort to recognize conditions, situations and practices that may be threatening or detrimental to his or her health and takes steps to change or eliminate that process in order to live a more healthful life. Wellness involves taking an active role in being healthy and adopting practices that enhance health such as a Low-Fat High-Fiber intake, Exercise, a balance between work & play and a positive mental & spiritual attitude. Wellness also means reducing health risks and eliminating practices that add stressful dangers to our life styles. Wellness takes into consideration more than our state of physical health Wellness is often represented as an equilateral triangle, as seen above, with the sides depicting (BODY -- MIND -- SPIRIT) or (Physical -- Psychological/Mental -- Attitude/Emotional). When all three aspects are healthy and in balance optimum Wellness is experienced. A Wellness-Oriented person strives to attain a healthy balance between these three.
