health maintenance
Keeping yourself fit
Health maintenance refers to the ongoing practices and activities that preserve physical well-being and prevent illness—regular checkups, exercise, proper diet, and preventive screenings.
The term appears most often in institutional contexts: health maintenance organization (HMO), health maintenance programs.
The emphasis is on sustaining good health rather than treating disease after it develops.
