Preventive Medicine....what? Kindly read what ever being printed later.
What I really interested on is Primary Prevention. Another bombastic or new word to learn? Relax! Enjoy reading.
Primary prevention means actions on preventing from things to occur before it really happens (actions to protect against disease or disability and another category is general action to promote health)
Have you ever heard "An apple a day, keep the doctor away"? Is that really easy to keep the doctor away?, I could say "Yup, easy, but if done correctly and diligently."
How?
That primary prevention comes in. Getting immunizations, ensuring the supply and usage of safe drinking water, applying dental sealants to prevent tooth decay, and guarding against accidents plus good nutrition and hygiene, adequate exercise and rest, and avoidance of environmental and health risks are amongst the things keeping the doctor away. The list is endless but really practical and realistic if done immediately and in a continuous purpose.
Which I could recalled what mommy would say, "eat your veggies, they make you strong like a Popeye." Really? Like most kids, veggies is not a favorite food to eat. Getting older, different perception is gained into control.
When taste matters the most, junk food will be the number one of choice with very slight different sadly with adults choices who prefer fast food since stays in the fast lane of cosmopolitan society. The awareness pertaining to health especially mother who cared for the kids, television programmes e.g Big Loser , people starts to look life not just for granted and start to take care of their body and mind. The adult starts giving example on to live well and healthy, and cook or just prepare nutritious food in the fun ways like the Japanese young mommies prepare their school kiddies in Bento box (see above).
Why veggies and fruits important?. Healthy lifestyles and other preventive measures important?
Because, it is the cheapest before ailments take over which could cost millionaire to become poor sick man.
Think....and ponder.
