Abstract

Ding-Han Wang

In the fast-paced and demanding world of academia, focusing solely on academic achievements often leads to neglecting the crucial aspects of students' overall well-being. Recognizing the importance of a holistic approach to education, there has been a growing emphasis on incorporating mental and physical health education into the academic curriculum. This article explores the significance of empowering students through a comprehensive approach to mental and physical health, aiming to create a foundation for lifelong well-being. Before delving into the holistic approach, it's essential to understand the prevailing challenges that students face concerning their mental and physical health. Today's students often experience high levels of stress, anxiety, and burnout due to academic pressures, societal expectations, and the increasing use of digital devices. Sedentary lifestyles, poor nutrition, and irregular sleep patterns further compound these challenges, negatively impacting students' overall health and academic performance.
