Principles of Health: Whole Body Wellness
In an era where people are more health-conscious than ever before, a volume on whole body wellness couldn’t be more prescient. Total wellness involves both mind and body, factoring in mental health as well as physical fitness, and is a goal towards which many people strive. It is not an easy journey, however, and this edition in the Principles of Health series will guide readers through the various aspects of Whole-Body Wellness necessary to attain a greater level of personal well-being.
This volume introduces students and researchers to the fundamentals of overall wellness. Entries explore topics such as mental health, physical health, social connectivity, financial stability, emotional satisfaction, occupational success, environmental awareness, and spiritual fulfillment.
Principles of Health: Whole Body Wellness begins with a comprehensive Editor’s Introduction to the topic of overall wellness. Following the Introduction, this volume includes 140 entries arranged in seven broad categories:
- Environmental Conservation discusses different practical ways that the average person
can make positive contributions to the environment and their own health and wellness
such as increasing awareness of one’s carbon footprint and participating in community
gardens. - Exercise-Based Therapies details popular and effective movement-based exercise
therapies such as dance movement therapy, pilates, qigong, weight training, yoga, and
more. - Mental Health Screening details the variety of mental health assessment and screening
techniques from the Beck Anxiety Inventory to the Thematic Apperception Test. - Natural Treatments for Wellbeing looks at 35 common natural remedies and practices,
discussing their effectiveness from a scientific perspective. Topics include biofeedback,
ear candling, and magnet therapy, to name a few. - Social Support and Occupational Health discusses the importance of social support in
relation to mental health, workplace safety measures, and therapies utilized after
workplace accidents. - Spiritual Health looks at the spiritual connection to whole body wellness, encompassing
different faiths and belief systems, and spirituality and mental health broadly. - Wellness Therapies provides insight into 55 therapeutic techniques not covered
elsewhere in this volume, including acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, massage
therapy, and more.
