Response #1
Health can be defined as the presence or absence of disease. This means the state of bodily functions at any given time or place. Wellness, however, is a much broader topic and refers to the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and physiologic state of the person and their relationship to his or her environment.

Response #2
Health and wellness are sometimes used interchangeably, but in fact there is a difference between the two terms. Health is considered "the presence or absence of disease", such as the physical well-being of our body at any given point in time. Wellness, on the other hand, refers to "the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and physiologic state of the individual and his relationship to his/her environment".
