Here are definitions of some of the terms that are used throughout the site.
Water Soluble Vitamins: Vitamins that dissolve in water (C and B-complex). They are easily absorbed and released by body tissues. The body cannot store water-soluble vitamins, so a daily supply is needed. Vitamin B-12 is the exception. If enough B-12 has been consumed, the body can store adequate amounts for several months.
Wellness Program: A health management program that incorporates the components of disease prevention, medical self-care, and health promotion. It utilizes proven health behavior techniques that focus on preventive illness and disability, which respond positively to lifestyle related interventions. Programs are designed to integrate with existing health care benefits; e.g., flex benefits, HMO, PPO; support the reduction in the demand for health care resources; and address the issues of dependent coverage and services for high-risk employees.
