Health vs. Wellness – what is the difference? In the words of Sydney Lappe, MS, RDN, “The primary difference between health and wellness is that health is the goal and wellness is the active process of achieving it. We cannot always choose the state of our health, but we do have the conscious choice to make active decisions towards wellness.” Wellness has a direct influence on overall health, which is essential for living a healthy, happy, and fulfilled life.
