Optimal physical wellness is more than just the absence of disease. Physical wellness encompasses a variety of healthy behaviors including adequate exercise, proper nutrition, and abstaining from harmful habits such as drugs and alcohol. It means learning about and being able to identify symptoms of disease, getting regular medical checkups, and protecting yourself from injuries and harm. Once these behaviors are satisfied, you will be well on your way to achieving favorable physical wellness. Developing such healthy habits today will not only add years to your life, but will enhance the enjoyment and quality of those years.

Physical activity can have numerous physical and psychological benefits. Regular physical activity has been associated with a decreased risk of heart disease, diabetes mellitus, reduced blood pressure, reduced total body fat, decreased anxiety and depression, an increase in self-esteem and a decrease in overall mortality. Being physically fit makes doing everyday activities easier and makes you feel good.
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), recommends that every American adult should accumulate 30 minutes or more of moderate-intensity physical activity on most, preferably all, days of the week. Additional health benefits can be obtained through greater amounts of physical activity.
Physical fitness is defined as the ability of the body to adapt to the demands of physical effort without undue fatigue. The four primary components of physical fitness include cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility.
The human body is very adaptable. The greater the demands placed upon it, the more it adjusts and responds accordingly. Over time, the immediate short term gains that one experiences will often lead to long-term changes and improvements in your quality of life. Physical activity will increase your energy levels, improve emotional well-being, and boost the immune system. It will make you feel better and will likely send you on an upward path toward a new, rejuvenated life.

What you choose to eat can have profound effects on your health and well being. There is a direct connection between nutritional habits and the risk of major chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes. Choosing the foods that provide adequate nutrients and calories, while limiting choices linked to disease, is an important part of a healthy lifestyle.
Your body requires a certain amount of essential nutrients including protein, fat, carbohydrates, water, vitamins, and minerals from food intakes because the body cannot manufacture them adequately. To further promote a healthy diet, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has issued Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Choosing adequate portions from each food group helps to ensure that you maintain a balanced and healthy diet. The Food Guide Pyramid provides guidelines for Americans that will help you select the proper number of servings from each of the food groups. The Dietary Guidelines For Americans include the following recommendations:
AIM FOR FITNESS
Aim for a healthy weight.
Be physically active every day.
BUILD A HEALTHY BASE
Let the Pyramid guide your food choices.
Choose a variety of grains daily, especially whole grains.
Choose a variety of fruits and vegetables daily.
Keep food safe to eat.
CHOOSE SENSIBLY
Choose a diet that is low in saturated fat and cholesterol and moderate in total fat.
Choose beverages and foods to moderate your intake of sugars.
Choose and prepare foods with less salt.
If you drink alcoholic beverages, do so in moderation.

A drug is defined as any chemical other than food intended to affect the structure or function of the body. Although most people use alcohol and other drugs in moderation, if at all, some people choose to use drugs for a variety of reasons. Some people use drugs in order to alter their mood, others are motivated by a desire to escape boredom, depression, feelings of worthlessness, or simply want to feel a part of something and succumb to peer pressure.
Alcohol, tobacco, and other drug abuse have been linked to an array of negative consequences. Heavy drinkers tend to skip class more, have lower grades, and drop out of school more than non-drinkers. Alcohol and other drugs are associated with unplanned pregnancies, violence, and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS. Tobacco is the leading cause of preventable death. Drug abuse can lead to a variety of serious physical and psychological problems, including death.
If you, or someone you know, are using drugs, educate yourself about the possible consequences. If you are not able to quit on our own, counseling and support services are available. Making responsible decisions about alcohol and other drugs will help ensure your health and wellness for years to come.

II. PSYCHOLOGICAL/EMOTIONAL WELLNESS
Emotional wellness is a dynamic state that fluctuates frequently with your other six dimensions of wellness. Being emotionally well is typically defined as possessing the ability to feel and express human emotions such as happiness, sadness, and anger. It means having the ability to love and be loved and achieve a sense of fulfillment in life. Being able to identify the barriers and obstacles in the way of achieving emotional wellness and taking appropriate steps to cope with such problems is also important. Emotional wellness encompasses optimism, self-esteem, self-acceptance, and the ability to share feelings.
Another critical element of emotional wellness is the ability to manage stress. Stress can occur when external and/or internal resources exceed the resources of the person. Stress is defined as the physical and emotional responses that accompany any stimulus that disrupts an individual’s normal life. A person participating in a big game, one who is preparing for a final exam, or someone struggling to pay for college will all experience stress.
Physical responses to stress may include an accelerated heart rate, an elevated blood pressure, increased perspiration to cool your skin, headaches, and various muscle aches. Responses to stress vary from person to person and may include laughing, crying, or overindulging with food. Inappropriate behavioral responses include the use of drugs or alcohol and violence.
People who manage stress well and have a high level of emotional wellness have more time to enjoy life. Techniques for managing stress include: surrounding yourself with a positive support network, eating well, managing your time appropriately, and practicing relaxation techniques and exercising.
Achieving emotional/psychological wellness is not always an easy process. The first step is to assess where you are now and determine what changes you wish to make. When self-help measures aren’t enough, seek professional help.

III. ENVIRONMENTAL WELLNESS
Environmental wellness is an awareness of the unstable state of the earth and the effects of your daily habits on the physical environment. It consists of maintaining a way of life that maximizes harmony with the earth and minimizes harm to the environment. It includes being involved in socially responsible activities to protect the environment.
Examples of environmental threats include ultraviolet radiation in the sunlight, air, chemical, noise, and water pollution, and second hand smoke. Although some environmental concerns are beyond your control, there are things that can be done to promote environmental wellness and promote a healthier earth for the future.
Always remember the 3 R’s of consumerism: Reduce the amount of pollution you generate; Reuse containers, bags, and batteries; and Recycle paper, glass, aluminum, and plastic. Whenever possible, don’t buy what you don’t need. Take good care of the things you currently own and if need be, replace them with used rather than new items. To cut down on pollution, walk, ride your bike, or car-pool whenever possible; listen to your music at reasonable levels; and always turn your lights and appliances off when not using them.
Although you may feel a bit overwhelmed with the numerous environmental issues, every little change you make does count. If everyone made individual adjustments in their life, the impact on the environment would be great.

IV. SPIRITUAL WELLNESS
Spiritual wellness is a personal dimension that involves possessing a set of guiding beliefs, principles, or values that help give direction to one’s life. It involves a high level of faith, hope, and commitment to your individual beliefs that provides a sense of meaning and purpose. People can express their meaning and purpose in life through nature, art, music, religion, meditation, or good deeds performed towards others.
Spirituality transcends the individual to create a common bond with others. This bond can take several forms. For instance, people can be brought together and connected spiritually by a set of principles or ethics that govern their conduct, a sense of selflessness and empathy for others, or perhaps a commitment to a higher, greater power. Each individual should be encouraged to possess their own, unique set of beliefs and spiritual guidelines.
Spiritual wellness may or may not involve religion. Although religion is an integral part of spirituality for some, one does not need to be involved in organized religion to be spiritual.
Whether it is involving yourself in religious activities, meditation, or engulfing yourself with art and music, spiritual wellness is an integral component of wellness. Research has consistently indicated that spirituality cannot only help people recover from serious illness, but it can help people live longer and enjoy life more.

V. SOCIAL WELLNESS
Social wellness refers to our ability to effectively live up to the expectations and demands of our personal roles without harming others. We all occupy many roles, including brother or sister, son or daughter, friend, teacher, or student. With each of these roles, there are expectations that we must satisfy in order to interact successfully within our environment. This means learning good communication skills, developing intimacy with others and creating a support network of friends and family members who care about us and love us for who we are.
Social wellness includes showing respect for others. By joining a group or organization, you create a sense of belonging in which you can contribute to the group, your community, and to the world. In this way, you are not only respecting others, but you are respecting yourself as well. Loving others and being able to receive love is also characteristic of social wellness. Satisfying our needs for safety and companionship are equally important to achieve social wellness. When these needs are neglected, you may act in ways that threaten your overall health and wellness.
Recent studies have indicated the importance of social relationships in one’s life. Feeling alone can have negative effects on your emotional/psychological wellness and it can adversely affect you physical wellness as well. Friends can serve as a source of encouragement and reinforcement for practicing healthy habits such as proper nutrition and exercise, and abstaining from risky behaviors such as smoking and drinking. To protect you health and wellness; stay connected to people, form new relationships, and participate in various social activities. UND offers many opportunities for you to get involved.

VI. INTELLECTUAL WELLNESS
Intellectual wellness is characterized by the ability to make sound decisions and to think critically. It includes openness to new ideas, motivation to master new skills, and a sense of humor, creativity, and curiosity. Striving for personal growth and a willingness to seek out and use new information in an effective manner for personal and social development are also characteristic of an intellectually well individual.
Our minds need to be continually inspired and exercised just as our bodies do. The intellectual dimension encourages creative, stimulating mental activities. People who possess a high level of intellectual wellness have an active mind and never stop learning. An intellectually well person uses the resources available to expand one's knowledge and improve skills, along with expanding potential for sharing with others. Keeping up-to-date on current events, reading newspapers, magazines, and books, and participating in activities that arouse our minds all serve to increase our intellectual wellness.
An intellectually well person uses academic and cultural activities both in and out of the classroom, combined with the human resources and learning resources available both within the university community and the larger community. Enhance intellectual wellness by attending museums, exhibits, and theater. UND offers numerous opportunities to enhance one’s intellectual wellness. By becoming involved and supporting the many opportunities for enhanced intellectual wellness on campus, we not only stimulate our own minds, but helping ensure the future of such activities which will further inspire the minds of generations to come.
