Science has moved away from saying that bodies need to exercise three times a week. That approach has taken on a negative view. Now, we re talking more about how people can build activity into their lives. Wellness today, according to Smock, is sending a more pleasure-based message.

However, exciting research is going on to help explain the effectiveness of these techniques. The fair also has information about different resources out in the community that can help make their health better. There are other ways to make the body feel better and these include the mind and your spirit and home remedies that are culturally based. Stinson and Puma are working on Wellness Fair 99 as part of a nursing and health promotions course. Other course experiences include observing on a hospital obstetrics floor with new moms and babies and at Westminster Village, a facility for senior citizens.
