Wellness is no Passing Fad

It isn't something that is a fly-by-night attraction, but something that is long lasting, with lingering results, both good and bad and most often depending on our choices. The concept of wellness encompasses obvious things like our day to day health status and am I sick or not sick (which is what I think we most think of when we think wellness), but covers other factors far beyond that thinking.
