Christian Paths to Health and Wellness 3Ed.

God created people to be well in body, mind, and spirit—a unified and healthy whole. Christian Paths to Health and Wellness, Third Edition, helps undergraduate students explore key topics that affect their health and well-being and apply what they learn to their daily lives.

This updated text examines wellness from a holistic perspective, delving into how students can thrive in body, mind, and spirit. Students will learn how to
more fully understand God, themselves, and their purpose in life;
have strong and healthy relationships with others;
develop cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular fitness, and flexibility and mobility;
have a healthy attitude toward their bodies, eat well, and manage weight properly;
understand and apply good sleep hygiene to maximize alertness; and
adopt emotionally healthy habits and deal with stress in a constructive way.
All of this material is based on current research and is delivered through a faith-based perspective that will help students apply aspects of behavior modification as they learn how to take charge of the health of their bodies, minds, and spirits.

Written by highly respected Christian academics, the text includes chapter objectives, a glossary that defines key terms from each chapter, and easy-to-read charts that highlight specific information. This latest edition also features a new web study guide that makes Christian Paths to Health and Wellness a particularly valuable and unique resource.
