Wellness is described as

• A. An active state of being healthy, including living a lifestyle that promotes positive physical, mental, and emotional health
• B. Only the absence of illness
• C. A measure of how often a person visits a doctor
• D. An insurance program

Answer: (A)

Wellness is an active, multidimensional state of health. It means making deliberate choices to support physical, mental, and emotional well-being—regular exercise, balanced nutrition, sufficient sleep, effective stress management, and strong social connections—so you feel energetic and resilient. It goes beyond simply not being ill; wellness is about maintaining a lifestyle that promotes positive health across all areas. It isn’t a measure of how often you visit a doctor, nor an insurance program.
