The health continuum is a way to visualize the range of an
individual's health, from highest health potential to death.
Holistic is a term derived from the Greek word holes, meaning
"whole." Holistic health views the physical, intellectual,
sociocultural, psychological, and spiritual aspects of a person's
life as an integrated whole. These five aspects cannot be
separated or isolated; anything that affects one aspect of a
person's life also affects the other aspects.
