Wellness: Concepts and Applications

This used paperback textbook has obvious wear. May have some damage to the cover but integrity still intact. The binding may be slightly damaged but integrity is still intact. This book was used in a college class, so there is plenty of writing in margins, underlining and highlighting of text, but no missing pages or anything that would compromise the legibility or understanding of the text.

Wellness: Concepts and Applications uses the basic precepts of the wellness movement: personal responsibility, behavior change and risk reduction, and health-care consumer awareness, to introduce students to the health and wellness-related information they need to thrive in today's world. The authors provide accurate, scientifically based information on wellness topics as well as assessment activities and other tools for behavior change. The authors also provide a balance among the seven dimensions of wellness while at the same time emphasizing the central roles of physical fitness, nutrition, avoidance of tobacco, and stress management as keys to a healthy life. Other fitness and wellness topics include body composition, flexibility, safety, drugs, STDs, chronic diseases, and more.
