health preservation
Keeping yourself well
Health preservation is the practice of maintaining wellness and preventing illness before it occurs, rather than treating disease after it develops.
The term appears in traditional medicine systems, wellness literature, and public health contexts: Ancient Chinese medicine emphasized health preservation through diet and exercise.
It suggests proactive care—lifestyle choices, preventive screenings, and habits that sustain good health over time.
