Explanation:

Analyze the impact of wellness lifestyles

Adopting lifestyles that promote wellness directly improves overall physical and mental health.

Evaluate the effect on illness rates

Healthy habits like balanced nutrition and regular exercise reduce chronic disease risks.
Consequently, the overall rate of illness in the population decreases.
