Preventive Medicine The Science of Fitness
Societies continue to grow, technology advances beyond our wildest dreams and our species manages to survive despite the fact that our population is growing at an exorbitant rate. In times like these health is, generally speaking, on the bottom or our list. Family work, school, homework, sleep and, of course, money tend to head our priorities; without health none of these things would be possible. Health can be separated into three categories: the diseases we obtain, the research and treatments we have to cure them, and the knowledge needed to prevent them. Preventive Medicine, the last of these groups, is similar to a vaccine, providing immunity before the problem arises. This website explores four main areas of basic preventive medicine as well as changes that can be made to your daily life style in order to maintain healthy habits. |
