Wellness: Defining Alternatives for Healthy Lifestyles

According to the American Heritage Dictionary, wellness is defined as "the condition of good physical and mental health, especially when maintained by proper diet, exercise, and habits."

Wellness is generally accepted to mean a healthy balance of the mind, body and spirit resulting in an overall feeling of well-being. It is often used when referring to alternatives to traditional medical practices, such as acupuncture and holistic medicine.

More and more companies are implementing workplace wellness programs for their value in improving the health and well-being of their employees. They become part of many companies' health and/or safety programs. These wellness programs are designed to help improve employee morale, loyalty, and productivity.
