Three pillars of health promotion

The three pillars of health promotion are a healthy lifestyle, health education and information dissemination and a healthy environment.

1. Healthy lifestyle: A healthy lifestyle refers to a series of behaviors and habits adopted by individuals in daily life to maintain and improve their physical and mental health. This includes reasonable diet, moderate exercise, good sleep, avoiding the abuse of harmful substances (such as alcohol and tobacco) and actively coping with stress. By cultivating a healthy lifestyle, we can prevent the occurrence of chronic diseases, improve the body's resistance and enhance mental health.

2. Health education and information dissemination: Health education and information dissemination improve health awareness and health literacy by providing the public with knowledge, skills and information about health and disease prevention. This includes promoting health knowledge, publicizing public health policies, providing health education courses and training, and using media and information technology to spread health information. Through health education and information dissemination, individuals can better understand their own health needs and improve their self-management ability of health behaviors.

3. Healthy environment: A healthy environment refers to the influence of people's physical and social environment on their health. This includes good living conditions, clean drinking water and air, safe transportation, convenient sanitation facilities and community support and participation. Creating a healthy environment can promote people's healthy behavior and social interaction, reduce the risk of disease transmission and improve the overall quality of life.
