Article Editing – Wellness and Health

NIH – National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), “Wellness and Well‑Being” page.

Original Text:

“Some people use complementary health approaches in an effort to promote general well‑being or wellness, rather than to help manage symptoms of a health problem. For example, 2012 national survey data show that people most often use yoga and dietary supplements for wellness. Wellness has several dimensions, including emotional well‑being (coping effectively with life and creating satisfying relationships) and physical well‑being (recognizing the need for physical activity, healthy foods, and sleep).

Research sponsored by NCCIH suggests that people who use complementary approaches for wellness tend to have better overall health, higher rates of physical activity, and lower rates of obesity than those who use complementary approaches to help manage a health problem. More research is needed to better understand how certain complementary health approaches can be useful in encouraging better self‑care, improving a personal sense of well‑being, and promoting a greater commitment to a healthy lifestyle.”

Edited Excerpt:

Complementary health approaches are often used to promote overall wellness rather than to treat specific health conditions.
A 2012 national survey found that people most often use yoga and dietary supplements for wellness.
Wellness has many dimensions: emotional well-being (effectively coping with life and nurturing meaningful relationships) and physical well-being (maintaining regular physical activity, eating well, and getting enough sleep).
Research sponsored by NCCIH suggests that people who use complementary approaches for wellness tend to have better overall health, higher levels of physical activity, and lower obesity rates than those who use complementary approaches to help manage a health problem.
These studies provide valuable insights into the benefits of complementary health approaches.
However, more research is needed to better understand how these practices contribute to overall well-being.

Notes:

In this edit I focused on refining the article for clarity and flow. I simplified complex sentences and adjusted punctuation. I also enhanced readability while retaining the original tone.
