b. Keeping a food record to help evaluate what she eats
c. Eating meals with friends throughout the week
d. Meeting with a registered dietitian to review her food choices
ANS: C
Wellness enhances a person’s level of health through development of each of the six
dimensions of health: physical health, intellectual health, emotional health, social health,
spiritual health, and environmental health. Exercise and eating a healthy variety of foods help
develop 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-based
organization helps develop spiritual health; and keeping a journal helps develop emotional
health. The missing dimension in this example 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 may contribute to physical,
intellectual, and emotional health.
