soundness and vigor: good health; poor health.
2.Soundness of body or mind; freedom from disease or
ailment: to have one's health; to lose one's health.
Wellness:
1.The quality or state of being healthy in body and mind, esp.
as the result of deliberate effort.
2.An approach to healthcare that emphasizes preventing
illness and prolonging life, as opposed to emphasizing
treating diseases.
What behaviors promote Health and Wellness?
Explain how diseases are prevented:
TERMS
OSHA – Occupational Safety and Health
Administration – a federal agency that
establishes and enforces standards that protect
workers form job-related injuries and illnesses
2. CDC: – a division of the US Department of
Health and Human Services is concerned with
the causes,
spread and control of diseases
in populations.
3. CLIA – the Clinical Laboratory Improvement
Amendment is a federal amendment that
established
standards, regulations, and
performance requirements based on the
complexity of a test and the risk factors
associated with incorrect results. All medical
laboratory personnel must adhere to CLIA

Introduction
The Teenage years can be full of ups and downs.
Sometimes all of the changes that come your way
can be overwhelming. Living a healthy lifestyle is
one way to cope with all of these changes. There
are many different areas of wellness that will help
you live a healthy lifestyle. The four areas of
wellness that we will focus on for this project are:
physical wellness, social wellness, emotional
wellness, and spiritual wellness. By paying
attention to these four areas of wellness, you can
bring balance to your life.
Immunity:
1.The state of being immune from
or insusceptible to a particular
disease or the like.
2.The condition that permits either
natural or acquired resistance to
disease.
3.The ability of a cell to react
immunologically in the presence of
an antigen.
Natural active: Occurs during infection. It is active because
lymphocytes are activated by antigens on pathogen's
surface.
Artificial active: Injecting or taking antigens by mouth.
Takes time for T and B cells to be activated but gives long
lasting immunity.
Natural passive: Mother to child through placenta or milk.
Artificial passive: Used during potentially fatal diseases.
Provides an instant response but only temporary as
antibodies are not the body's own so memory cells are not
created. E.g. tetanus - injection of antitoxins given.
Memory cells are only produced in active immunity.
Protection for active immunity is permanent whereas in
passive immunity it is only temporary.
Antigens are only encountered in active immunity.
Active immunity takes several weeks to become active but
passive is immediate
What is Emotional Wellness?
Emotional wellness focuses on how you feel and how in
tune you are with your own emotions. When you are in
emotional balance, you feel at peace with yourself. You
know your own capabilities and limitations, and you can
cope with a healthy amount of stress in your life. You
have a good relationship with yourself and with others
around you. Relationships with others will have a strong
foundation based on mutual trust and respect. The
emotionally healthy individual has a strong sense of self,
and remains true to him or herself while still being open
to the ideas and opinions of others. Emotional health is
about knowing yourself and your feelings. It is important
to be emotionally healthy because it will promote
happiness, positive feelings about yourself and your
surroundings, and an overall sense of optimism.
Emotional health is not one specific definition, but a
continuum of qualities and behaviors. Emotional health is
only one part of being a balanced and healthy individual.
Physical, social, and spiritual health are just a few of the
other parts of the puzzle that makes a person whole.
Emotional Wellness is the ability to control stress and to
express emotions appropriately and comfortably."
What is Social Wellness?
The social health of individuals refers to "that
dimension of an individual's well-being that
concerns how he gets along with other people,
how other people react to him, and how he
interacts with social institutions and societal
mores" (Russell 1973, p. 75). This definition is
broad—it incorporates elements of personality
and social skills, reflects social norms, and
bears a close relationship to concepts such as
"well-being," "adjustment," and "social
functioning."
The social component of wellness means
having the ability to interact successfully with
people and one's personal environment."
What is Social Wellness? Cont.
Physical Wellness: The physical component of
wellness involves the ability to carry out daily
tasks, develop cardiorespiratory and muscular
fitness, maintain adequate nutrition and a healthy
body fat level, and avoid abusing alcohol and
other drugs or using tobacco products."
Spiritual Wellness: Spirituality is the way you find
meaning, hope, comfort and inner peace in your
life. Many people find spirituality through religion.
Some find it through music, art or a connection
with nature. Others find it in their values and
principles.
The spiritual component of wellness provides
meaning and direction in life and enables you to
grow, learn, and meet in new challenges."
How is spirituality related to
health?
No one really knows for sure how spirituality is
related to health. However, it seems the body,
mind and spirit are connected. The health of any
one of these elements seems to affect the health
of the others.
Some research shows that things such as positive
beliefs, comfort and strength gained from religion,
meditation and prayer can contribute to healing
and a sense of well-being. Improving your spiritual
health may not cure an illness, but it may help you
feel better, prevent some health problems and
help you cope with illness, stress or death.
How can I improve my spiritual
health?
If you want to improve your spiritual health, you
may want to try the following ideas. However,
remember that everyone is different, so what
works for others may not work for you. Do what
is comfortable for you.
Identify the things in your life that give you a
sense of inner peace, comfort, strength, love
and connection.
Set aside time every day to do the things that
help you spiritually. These may include doing
community service or volunteer work, praying,
meditating, singing devotional songs, reading
inspirational books, taking nature walks, having
quiet time for thinking, doing yoga, playing a
sport or attending religious services.

Letter #1
Dear Wellness Wendy,
I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I just haven’t felt very good lately. I
don’t think I’m sick. I mean, I don’t have a cold or the flu or anything. But
I have felt frustrated, moody, and I can’t sleep. My grandma died a
couple of weeks ago, and I haven’t felt very good since. I haven’t told
anyone else about how I am feeling. I don’t want my friends to think I’m
weird and my parents seem so upset about my grandma that I don’t want
to bother them either. Please help me. What’s wrong with me and how
can I feel better.

Letter #2
Dear Balanced Billy,
My friend Joey hasn’t seemed like himself lately. He has been really
crabby and it seems like he is mad all the time. I never see him smile like
he used to. He has stopped hanging out with friends after school. I’m
worried that these are not just a few “bad days”. This has been going on
for a few months now. Could he be depressed? I really care about my
friend and want to help him!

Letter #3
Dear Balanced Billy,
I am a 15 yr old student in the 10th grade and recently I have been so
stressed over school. I always have tons of homework and studying to do
each night and on top of that I have an after-school job at the local video
store in town. Also, it seems like I never have any time for my friends or
even myself. At the end of the day, I hardly have any energy, I'm never
hungry, and I can hardly sleep. Do you have any advice for me to get my life
under control? Thanks.
Stressed out Sam
Letter #4
Dear Wellness Wendy,
I am writing this to you because I do not know what to do. Lately I don’t
know who my real friends are. I thought that my best friend and I would be
best friends forever, but she/he is starting to hang out with some kids that I
don’t like very much. She/he has changed so much that I don’t even
recognize this person anymore! I don’t really want to change to act like
his/her new friends, but I don’t want to lose this person either! It seems like
my friend doesn’t even want to give me the time of day anymore! Don’t they
remember how much fun we used to have together? This is starting to really
hurt my feelings! Why does everything have to be so different now? Also, I
am NOT getting along very well with my parents. I don’t think they
understand how hard it is to be me. They are always bugging me about
what I am doing, when I just want to be left alone! Help! I feel like my life is
starting to fall apart, and I don’t know what to do!
Bummed out Bobby
