Everyone knows how to do maintenance for his car and house as well as fixed the problem or potential problem as early as possible to prevent trouble and save money.
However, ourselves and our body is the most valuable asset in our life. But, people do not do preventive health care. Keep running until one day out to lay down on the bed.
Let's brainstorm to see how can we incentive the preventive health care be popular everywhere?
1. Education
2. To support employees financially and morally and reward their success with
positive performance
3. To allocate more budget
4. To fight more actively with environmental pollution, cigarette, alcohol, noise,
dependence etc.
5. More importance to healthy nutrition and fight obesity further
...........
One question is what exactly do we mean here? Health behavior of individuals or the conditions of contexts, particularly health systems or both?
From the systems perspective some aspects:
- preventive health care needs to be embedded in policy
- there needs to be a stable health insurance system including reimbursement for preventive health care
- health literacy of population groups should be supported
- there should be access to preventive health and community services
- preventive services need to consider health inequalities
- participatory approaches might support innovation of services and health promotion interventions
Dear Ilhami Unluoglu ,

Dear Tamara Schloemer ,
Thanks for your comment. Only in the country level can let the preventive health care become real. Without individual collaborate, the preventive health care cannot be successful. Yes. It's a systematic approach.
What you said are all right. But, I have some comments:
Dear Tamara Schloemer ,
Please also read my comments at https://www.researchgate.net/project/Bioethics-Ethics-in-clinical-research-Teaching-Ethics-Formation-of-moral-reasoning/update/5d1bf14dcfe4a7968db121f4 . Hypnosis is also good to be used as a powerful self-healing.
Dear Frieda Mah
In my opinion, it is not that people do not do preventive health care, the problem is that they don’t know how to do preventive health care. Here is a practical issue:
According to the following research:
https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2017/07/understanding-how-the-intestine-replaces-and-repairs-itself/, the lining of our intestine regenerates itself every five to seven days to withstand the constant wear and tear it suffers while breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste. So a reasonable conclusion from this research is, no matter how badly the condition of our gastrointestinal lining is, with proper nutrition and proper rest, we should have a completely regenerated new gastrointestinal lining after one week, and how come so many people have GIT problems for months, or even for several years?
It is obviously that these people do not know how to protect their gastrointestinal lining, and hurt their gastrointestinal lining in every meal, so that their never give a chance to their gastrointestinal lining to self-heal.
My personal practice is, for each meal, eat slowly and chew thoroughly to ensure that the food is in a paste state without any chunks before it is swallowed to minimize the wear and tear effect to the gastrointestinal lining. Eat moderately in each meal, eat enough of fruit. Then stop eating 5 hours before sleep. This means that no matter my stomach is empty or full, I do not put any food into my mouth again 5 hours before sleep to ensure that my gastrointestinal lining has enough time to rest and repair itself and recover from any injury. Then sleep for 7 to 8 hours.
And my personal experience tells me that as long as I protect my gastrointestinal lining in good condition, I really don’t need to care about the other organs inside my body, as my body will naturally take care of these organs inside my body. I am quit relax and ease if mind.
Other people may not follow my way of practice, but they need to develop their own strategy to protect their gastrointestinal lining as well as their body in a healthy state.

Dear Ligen Yu ,
Thanks for your comment. In traditional Chinese culture, older generations always ask us eat slowly and chew thoroughly to enjoy food taste. Meanwhile, we will be easier to get satisfaction to eat less. That reduces the digestion system's burden.
However, the busy life like meal meetings that take away eating time. In many workplaces, meal time is only 30 min. including walks to the restaurant, line of foods and pick up food. How much time left to eat?
I can teach self-healing.
Best Regards, Frieda
