Wellness is a concept in which a person takes responsibility for his/her state of health. It's a preventative plan, where one makes an effort to recognize conditions, situations, and practices that may be threatening to his and her health and tries to change them in order to live a healthier life. Wellness involves adopting practices that enhance health such as a low-fat, high-fiber diet, exercise, a balance between work and play, and a positive mental and spiritual attitude. One should also try to reduce health risks and stress from their lifestyle. It's more than physical health. It's often represented on an equilateral triangle. It's a balance of mind, body, and spirit. A wellness oriented person strives to attain a healthy balance between these three.
