I think my college professor put it best. Wellness is
1. Intellectual Health (exercise your mind with new challenges)
2. Emotional Health
3.Socail Factor (community and friendship help you live longer; read opening chapter in "Outliers")
4. Physical Aspect
5. Religion (Whatever you believe, It IS proven that having faith in a higher power reduces the risk of disease and increases lifespan)

I believe wellness is a package deal. Its not just what you put into your body, but how you use your body, how you engage your body and your mind, how you feed your soul. It can also include how you interact with others and how you spend your "free" time.

Being at low risk for disease with 0 to 2 risk factors and managing my emotional, mental, physical and spiritual energy in a way that accentuates the positive.

I agree with Heidi's answer. very eloquent.
Wellness MUST consist of Physical, Intellectual, Social and Spiritual. Each of those may vary to the individual, but the absence of any one leaves a big gap in overall wellness.

Wellness encompasses a whole host of optimal patterns, feelings, and behaviors. It's clearly a relative term; one person's feeling of wellness may not be enough for somebody else and vice versa. I think wellness may be less dependent on concrete things like diet and exercise (though they are important), and more on one's perception of how she feels and regards herself.
