What is the difference between Health And Wellness?
Posted on November 12th, 2009 by admin
This is my homework for Health class, lol think you can help me out?
Wellness – 1. the quality or state of being healthy in body and mind, esp. as the result of deliberate effort.
2. an approach to health-care that emphasizes preventing illness and prolonging life, as opposed to emphasizing treating diseases.
Health- soundness of body or mind; freedom from disease or ailment: to have one’s health; to lose one’s health.
So looks to me the difference is that Wellness is a successful conscious effort to be healthy, and health is just the state of being free from disease.
