Preventative Care
Preventative care refers to the measures taken to prevent illness or disease from occurring, rather than simply treating the symptoms of an existing condition. Preventative care can take many forms, including lifestyle changes, regular screenings and check-ups, and vaccinations.
Some examples of preventative care measures include:
- Routine screenings: Regular screenings, such as mammograms, colonoscopies, and blood pressure checks, can help to identify health issues early on, before they become more serious.
- Vaccinations: Vaccinations can help to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and protect individuals from serious illnesses.
- Healthy lifestyle choices: Eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and avoiding tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption can all help to maintain good health and prevent chronic conditions.
