Health and Lifestyle Workbook is an immersive guide that helps students develop a personal health plan that is informed by the six dimensions of wellness: physical, emotional, social, spiritual, intellectual, and environmental. It features distinct focus on timely and relevant topics, including mental illness, aging, fitness and nutrition, complementary and alternative practices, communicable and non-communicable diseases, drug use, human sexuality, intentional injury, and the environment. Over the course of seven units, students are introduced to key concepts regarding wellness and holistic health. They learn how to measure fitness and better understand their personal nutritional needs. Dedicated units explore stress management, anxiety and personal disorders, addictive behaviors, and the physical, social, and psychological changes that accompany aging. Students examine information about gender, romantic relationships, family planning, sexual health, and more. The final unit examines social violence, including relationship violence, hate crimes, elder abuse, and child abuse. Throughout, readers are provided with activities to support learning, build awareness, and offer opportunities for self-reflection. The second edition features a new introduction that provides students with a guiding framework for the text, revised material throughout the chapters to reflect updated health guidelines, and new definitions of health terms, as well as updated chapter references. A dynamic workbook that helps individuals build personal knowledge and understanding, Health and Lifestyle Workbook is an ideal resource for courses in health and exercise science.
