Explanation:

Health is defined as the state of 'complete physical, emotional, and mental well-being and not just the absence of a disease'. Wellness refers to a positive state and outlook in life. A person can be ill but still maintain a positive outlook in life. Components of health and wellness include;

1. Emotional: This is the coordination of one's feelings such that positivity is maintained at all times. When a person is under pressure, he should take measures to seek help that would alleviate the ill feelings so that his emotional health is not compromised.

2. Physical: Refers to the maintenance of the human body to avoid breakdown. Healthy foods should be eaten, hygiene should be maintained, and regular medical check-ups done, so as to maintain physical health.

3. Intellectual: Involves acquiring knowledge that would help the individual keep up with the events of the day.

4. Spiritual: Proper reflection about life and worship of a higher being (if one believes in that) would help in maintaining sanity and a generally positive outlook on life.

5. Social: This refers to the maintenance of healthy relationships with people so as to relate with them. Also, the right friends should be made to support one at times of need.
