THE CONNECTION BETWEEN VALEOLOGY AND MEDICINE: A PREVENTIVE HEALTH PERSPECTIVE

Аннотация

Valeology, the science of health and well-being, has become increasingly significant in the context of modern healthcare. Unlike conventional medicine, which largely focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, valeology emphasizes the preservation of health, disease prevention, and promotion of a healthy lifestyle. This paper explores the relationship between valeology and medicine, analyzing their common goals and how they can complement each other in enhancing public health. By integrating valeological principles into clinical and public health strategies, healthcare systems can shift from reactive to preventive models. This integration can play a crucial role in reducing the incidence of chronic diseases, minimizing healthcare costs, and improving the quality of life of individuals and communities.
