Wellness is the state of being in good physical and mental health. These include social connectedness, exercise, nutrition, sleep and mindfulness.
Healthy lifestyle is a lifestyle which includes activities and habits that encourage the development of total physical, mental, and spiritual fitness, and which reduces the risk of major illness. Healthy activities and habits include regular exercise; a balanced, nutritious diet; adequate sleep and relaxation; abstaining from smoking and taking nonessential drugs; and moderating the intake of alcohol.
