You only have one body, and how well you take care of it will determine how you feel later in life. Health and wellness are important for everyone—not just as a way to prevent disease, but also as a way to live better by making healthier choices.
This manual will work in tandem to your health and wellness course. This guide contains presentations, readings, activities, and discussions related to key elements of health and wellness such as:
- Fitness
- Nutrition
- Sleep
- Stress management
- Healthy relationships
- Substance use
- Disease prevention
With this manual, students will go beyond a basic understanding of health and wellness and will have the opportunity to develop critical thinking skills related to both their own personal health choices as well as the health of the broader community.
