Preventative Health

Definition of Preventative Health as it relates to Health

"Preventative Health" refers to measures taken to prevent diseases and maintain good health, rather than treating illnesses after they occur. This encompasses actions such as regular check-ups, immunizations, screenings, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle through balanced nutrition, exercise, stress management and avoiding harmful behaviors like smoking or excessive drinking. The goal of preventative health is to reduce the risk of developing chronic conditions, improve overall well-being, and ultimately save healthcare costs in the long run.
