WELLNESS DEFINED
Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life. "... a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence
of disease or infirmity."

The word “fitness” means the ability to perform physical activities. This includes discussions on the strength of your muscles, joints and ligaments; the state of your endurance; and the power in which your body is capable of moving. This does NOT mean “health.”
"Wellness," in essence, covers all areas of health: mental health, emotional health, physical health, spiritual health, social health, relationship health, and so on. Basically, these are all the different components in a person's life that can affect their overall "well-being."
