Health

Good health is basic to everything in life. Without health, people have difficulty doing the things they want to do. But health is more than being without illness. In my class I will emphasize the following connections to overall well-being:

• Physical health: the body's ability to meet the demands of daily living

• Social health: the ability to get along with other people

• Emotional health: ability to handle the problems and pressures of daily living

• Spiritual health: an individual's sense of peace, purpose, and connection to others, and beliefs about the meaning of life. Spirituality may be found and expressed through an organized religion or in other ways
