Over the couse of the reading from the text I have learned that there are many models, ideas, opinions on what being healthy constitutes. I knew a lot of the physiological aspect of health and wellness, but not models such as the holistic and Environmental models. Ive slso learned that there are no set definitions for helath and wellness, they are dynamic. In the case of the holistic model I got curious and checked out this site ------> http://www.breathing.com/articles/holistic.htm which compares the biomedical model verse the holistic model. Also from reading the text i learned how much stress really does have an effect on the body, never knew that it could be so damaging.
AS for my participation in this section, I am particular disappointed in myself that I didnt figure out how to balance my 4 online classes until a day ago. So my participation and work in this section has been minimum at best. Now that I have an organized plan, I intend to fully participate and learn more and more as the semester progresses.
A few new Vocabulary terms I came across that were new to me were :
holistic Model: encompassing the physiological,mental,emotional,social,spiritual,and environmental aspects of health.
Somatization: occurence of physical symptoms without any bodily disease or injury being present.
Mandala: an artistic,religious design used as an object of meditation.
I learned from Somatization that something as little as a stressful thought or social problem can cause physical symptoms without the presence of disease or injury, it makes you think twice about figuring out how to keep your stress level down.
