health and wellness

Body and mind

Health and wellness is a phrase that pairs two overlapping concepts to emphasize a holistic approach to physical and mental well-being.

Health traditionally refers to the absence of disease or infirmity, while wellness suggests active pursuit of habits and choices that promote vitality.

The pairing has become ubiquitous in marketing, corporate programs, and lifestyle branding, often to the point of seeming redundant.
