II. Background Information for Learners

Nowadays, health focuses on wellness. It is a positive approach that includes all the
dimensions of health: physical, mental, emotional, social and moral-spiritual. Health is the
well-being of your body, mind, and your relationship with others. On the other hand, wellness
means striving to live your life to achieve your fullest potential, making decisions, and acting
in healthy ways. It is practicing positive health behaviors based on sound knowledge and
healthy attitudes. You are likely to have a high degree of wellness if you have a balanced
life.
Being healthy means having a balance of the dimensions of health. This results in
attaining holistic health. Holistic concepts of health and maintaining good health as requiring
more than just taking care of the various singular components that make up the physical
body, additionally incorporating aspects such as mental, emotional, social, and moral-
spiritual well- being. The goal is a wellness that encompasses the entire person, rather than
