wellness

"Wellness" is an important health industry concept and quite distinct from "fitness".

It involves a less aggressive approach to physical wellbeing, with much use of oils and such like rather than active physical exercise (or with reduced physical exercise).

Try a google with "health wellness".

You need oils for an "aromatic wellness soak": lindseyskincaresupply.com/seaenarwelso.html
agree Gail : Definitely leave it as "wellness." It is as George says, a very important term used in the health industry and is also a very common term when it comes to "self-care."

take II:

Rimini, the fitness and wellness capital of... the world?

not if you eat too many piadine and san giovese, it\'s not!!

somehow \"fitness and wellness\" doesn\'t have the same ring to it, though
Peer comment(s):

agree Moll : yes, wellness exists but in this context health and fitness sounds good

benestare

mi sa che stai facendo la traduzione di una traduzione.
In ogni caso credo che un madrelingua userebbe anche wellness, guarda i siti che ti suggerisco
