The main point in this article was about promoting holistic health by doing a test on college
students. They tested their knowledge on holistic wellness, physical wellness, nutrition/healthy
eating, spiritual wellness and hydration/stretching. Those were the five major categories the

the lack of motivation of a healthy lifestyle in college students.
