The SPICES Approach to Health

Health is an interactive process of becoming aware of and practicing healthy choices to  create a more successful and balanced lifestyle.  The Office of Health Promotion promotes health by following the SPICES approach.  SPICES  is an acronym for the six dimensions of health: Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Cultural, Emotional, and Social components.
