    Study Notes

    Health and Wellness

    • Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
    • Well-being is the person's ability to function positively and be happy with their life.
    • Wellness is the process of identifying one's state of health and taking steps to improve it.

    Dimensions of Health

    • Physical health refers to how well the body functions.
    • Mental and emotional health refers to thinking and feeling, and how people express thoughts and feelings.
    • Social health refers to how well people get along with others.
    • Spiritual health refers to a person's sense of purpose and meaning in life.

    Characteristics of a Healthy Person

    • Having a sense of fulfillment and a positive attitude.
    • Enjoying a long life.
    • Engaging in behaviors that promote health.
    • Being socially connected, having relationships, and participating in social activities.
    • Being productive at school, work, and home.
    • Having a sense of purpose.
    • Having access to resources for meeting basic needs.
    • Having a safe physical and social environment at home, at school, and work, and in the community.

    Continuum of Health

    • A person's health status normally lies somewhere between the extremes of poor and excellent.
    • The choices you make largely determine where you are on the continuum.
    • Factors that increase health include quitting smoking, eating more fruits and vegetables, starting a physical activity program, and getting regular physical examinations.
    • Factors that reduce health include having an illness or injury, getting inadequate sleep, texting while driving, and lack of healthy relationships.

    Interactions of Health Dimensions

    • A disturbance in one dimension of health may lead to a disturbance in another.
    • An improvement in one dimension may lead to improvements in others.
    • The physical, mental, and emotional, and social dimensions of health are deeply interconnected.

    Mental and Emotional Health

    • Mental health describes how you observe and interpret information.
    • Emotional health refers to how you express yourself and your thoughts and feelings.
    • People who are mentally healthy can think clearly, critically, and optimistically, even in challenging circumstances.
    • People who are emotionally healthy express their thoughts and feelings clearly and cope well with stress.

    Social Health

    • Having positive social health means having enjoyable, supportive, and healthy relationships with family members, friends, dating partners, and people in your community.
    • Healthy relationships make you feel good about yourself and are characterized by trust and honest communication.

    Case Study: The Interactions of Your Health

    • The study focuses on three individuals: Dexter, Skye, and Malik.
    • The study illustrates how different dimensions of health (physical, social, and mental/emotional) can impact one another.
    • Dexter has experienced anxiety, but eating healthy foods and getting regular exercise has helped to improve his mental health.
    • Skye is active, while her brother has become withdrawn and inactive, highlighting the interconnectedness of physical and mental health.
    • Malik struggled to find a place in his new school, but joining a school club and volunteering for Habitat for Humanity positively impacted his mental health and social connections.

    Real-Life Examples

    • Janine has a healthy weight, rarely gets sick, and gets regular physical activity, but is under stress, anxious, and fights with her friends regularly.
    • Alex was born with a genetic disorder, but manages his condition by following his doctor's instructions, getting plenty of sleep, exercising moderately, and avoiding smoking or drinking.
    • People would say that Janine is healthier because she doesn't have a genetic disorder, but she is not “healthy” in the full sense of the word due to her negative mental and social health.
