While "health" and "wellness" are often used interchangeably, they encompass slightly different concepts:
Health: Health typically refers to the state of being free from illness or injury. It encompasses physical, mental, and social well-being. When someone is described as "healthy," it usually implies that they are in good physical condition and free from disease.
Wellness: Wellness, on the other hand, is a broader and more holistic concept. It encompasses not only the absence of illness but also the pursuit of overall well-being and quality of life. Wellness encompasses physical, mental, emotional, social, and even spiritual dimensions. It emphasizes proactive measures to promote health and prevent illness, focusing on lifestyle choices, behaviours, and attitudes that contribute to optimal well-being.
In essence, health is a component of wellness, but wellness encompasses a wider range of factors and emphasizes a proactive approach to achieving and maintaining overall well-being.
