The Health Protection/Health Promotion Model

The Health Protection/Health Promotion Model emphasizes balancing activities that prevent illness (health protection) with actions that encourage overall well-being (health promotion). It focuses on identifying factors that support or hinder health, such as lifestyle choices, environment, and personal beliefs. The goal is to help individuals maintain or improve their health through proactive behaviors like good nutrition, regular exercise, and avoiding harmful habits, while also protecting against potential health threats. This approach promotes a holistic view of health as a dynamic process, encouraging positive choices to enhance quality of life and prevent disease.
