Health: The Basics

This loose-leaf, three-hole punched version of the textbook gives students the flexibility to take only what they need to class and add their own notes–all at an affordable price.

A mindful approach to personal health

Health: The Basics aligns well-researched health information with current real-world topics that have the greatest impact on students’ lives to keep them hooked on learning and living well. The 13th Edition integrates mindfulness research, tools, and practices throughout, enabling students to incorporate mindfulness practices to help cut through the static of everyday life, to be more focused and present, and to improve academic performance.

Along with new content on sleep and health, as well as diversity and health equity, Health: The Basics builds on its strengths of using the most current, scientifically valid research, examining important issues and controversies about health today, and motivating students to become “actively engaged in health” at all levels. Students have access to videos, self-assessments, and online interactive activities and reading quizzes that address their diverse needs and learning styles while engaging them in the material.
