Which term is defined as a dynamic process of becoming aware of and making conscious choices toward a more balanced and healthy lifestyle?

• A. Health
• B. Wellness
• C. Mental health
• D. Physiological

Answer: (B)

Wellness is a dynamic process of becoming aware of and making conscious choices toward a more balanced and healthy lifestyle. It means actively shaping your well-being through ongoing decisions across multiple areas of life—physical activity, nutrition, sleep, stress management, and healthy social connections—so you maintain balance rather than simply being free from illness. Health is the overall state of well-being or the absence of disease, which is a condition rather than a continuing practice. Mental health focuses on emotional and psychological well-being, while physiological relates to the body’s biological processes. The idea that best fits this description is wellness.
