Rationale
|
Our personal health and wellness affects every aspect of our life. When we are feeling well, we are focused and able to accomplish more. Poor health or wellness in turn has a negative effect on our success or ability to complete tasks. A simple headache can change the quality of our work. Substance abuse also has occupational implications as well as personal consequences. Substance abuse affects our health and well-being, resulting in a diminished quality of life. In preparation for careers in the field of Human Sciences, this lesson will provide an excellent opportunity for you to study the positive effects of a healthy diet and exercise on personal success.

Quotes

A grateful heart is a beginning of greatness. It is an expression of humility. It is a foundation for the development of such virtues as prayer, faith, courage, contentment, happiness, love, and well-being.
-James E. Faust
Wellness is the complete integration of body, mind and spirit – the realization that everything we do, think, feel and believe has an effect on our state of well-being.
-Greg Anderson
More compassionate mind, more sense of concern for other’s well-being, is source of happiness.
-Dalai Lama
The simplification of life is one of the steps to inner peace. A persistent simplification will create an inner and outer well-being that places harmony in one’s life.

Infographics:
Electronic Health Records Infographic
How do electronic health records (EHRs) connect you and your doctor? In the past, medical data was only stored on paper, making it difficult for your health care providers to share your information. Between 2001 and 2011, the number of doctors using an EHR system grew about 57%, making it easier for you and all of your doctors to coordinate your care, and often reducing the chance of medical errors.
