Health
In 1946, World Health Organization (WHO) defined health as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
However health is a quality of life, involving social, emotional, occupational, intellectual, spiritual, environmental and physical part of the individual, which results from adaptations to the environment.
Wellness
“An integrated method of functioning which is orientated toward maximising the potential of which the individual is capable, within the environment which he is functioning.” (Dunn, 1977)
Wellness refers to the efforts and choices we make from moments to moments.
One of the most important factors to achieve high level of wellness is to adopt a positive lifestyle.
