Why effective health prevention is so important
We all want to stay fit and, above all, healthy into old age. After all, health is far more than the mere absence of illness. Rather, it is a state of comprehensive physical, mental and social well-being. That is why health should be understood holistically. Preventive health care is therefore more important than ever in our time.
What does preventive health care mean?
The WHO defines health promotion and prevention as two complementary measures designed to consolidate health and reduce any risks of disease. According to the organization, health promotion is a process that enables people to have a greater degree of self-determination over their health. In this way, they are empowered to strengthen their health.
A sustainable health concept thus depends on many factors. Environmental factors, performance pressure, psychosocial and even political aspects can have an impact on our health. Nevertheless, we ourselves can contribute a great deal to our own health protection.
Because most diseases are not congenital but occur in the course of life, it is possible to influence one's own health. Targeted preventive health care is important at every age, so that children can grow up healthy and people can grow older in the best possible conditions.How can we influence our health?
Our health is to a large extent related to our lifestyle. Whether we get plenty of regular exercise and play sports, don't smoke and consume alcohol in moderation, or eat a healthy diet forms an essential basis for supporting our health and preventing disease.
Every individual can do something for his or her own health through preventive measures. They can also improve the health-related living conditions in a society. Preventive measures can, for example, prevent chronic, non-communicable diseases from occurring in the first place or reduce their progression. These include diseases that are attributed to the typical affluent society. Especially the most common diseases of civilization, such as cardiovascular problems, diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, obesity and allergies. Even undesired cell growth can be prevented by means of pronounced preventive measures.What are the causes of common diseases?
Some diseases can have genetic causes. However, many of them are preventable, at least in theory. The diseases of civilization, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and, according to experts, even cancer, are often due to our fast-paced times and the problems associated with them.
Thus, psychological stress is often one of the most common causes of such diseases. This often results in behaviors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking or alcohol consumption. This fuels the risks for such diseases even more. In addition, there are factors that each individual can only influence to a very limited extent or not at all.
Psychosocial factors such as loneliness or pressure to perform, exaggerated ideals or false role models in social networks or media overstimulation are among the stress accelerators of today. Environmental toxins such as fine dust or pesticides, constant noise and too much hygiene can also have a negative impact on health.How to prevent diseases?
In the 1980s, the WHO adopted the Ottawa Charter. This calls for programs and prevention projects to promote health. Preventive strategies for health promotion are at the center of municipal health policy.
With an improvement of environmental conditions and quality of life, health - mainly in cities - is to be promoted at the same time. Based on this charter, health promotion networks and thus preventive projects are also being promoted in the Federal Republic and in Austria.
But each individual can also do a great deal to prevent disease and support their health. A healthy lifestyle is crucial for reducing the risk of dreaded diseases. The right diet with appropriate vitamins, minerals, trace elements and secondary plant substances plays an essential role. The medpro team of experts also considers the 4-pillar system essential.
The four pillars are:- Use of anti-inflammatory agents
- Use of the effect of antioxidants
- Restoration and maintenance of the immune system
- Inhibition of unwanted cell growth
What role does nutrition play in disease and cancer prevention?
Numerous studies in recent years show that the right diet is highly relevant, especially in the prevention of cancer and the so-called diseases of civilization. In this context, the nutritional balance, i.e. the amount of food consumed, is also essential.
Obesity and lack of exercise are a major factor in the development of diseases. The WHO even attributes around 30 percent of all cancer cases in Western countries to an unfavorable diet. A varied diet with plenty of vegetables, fruit and legumes is the best way to reduce the risk. In this way, we take in enough vital substances such as vitamins, minerals and secondary plant compounds. They are involved in all important functions in the human body and thus help us to stay healthy.
More and more scientists are of the opinion that our food contains less and less of these so healthy vital substances. Long transport routes, monocultures and the resulting unhealthy soils, pesticides, but also processing methods are to blame. In addition, there are always new nutritional trends and habits. They often do not guarantee a sufficient supply of vital substances. Moreover, as the years go by, our need for measures to maintain our health increases. Here it can be very useful to supplement the diet with special dietary supplements to support.How can medpro help to actively protect your health?
Together with physicians and experts, Medpro has special phytopreparations developed for the highest health demands. The unique dietary supplements contain valuable secondary plant and micronutrients. They offer significant advantages over synthetic or isolated vitamins and minerals. Thus, the bioavailability of these dietary supplements is often increased many times over.
Phytopreparations contain extracts that are considered active ingredients under the German Medicines Act. They are part of medical therapies and are considered an alternative or supplement to synthetically produced drugs. In addition, the efficacy and quality of such phytopreparations must be proven by clinical studies.Many doctors and therapists have already recognized the great potential of phytopreparations for preventive health care, but also for the assisting treatment of diseases for their patients. Even in extended cell therapy, certain phytopreparations are increasingly used as support due to their good tolerability.A treatment with Phytopreparations from medpro for preventive health care and thus for maintaining one's own quality of life makes sense. This is because it enables targeted countermeasures to be taken against weak points or deficiencies. This is also reflected in the proven 4-pillar model of health maintenance.

Phytotherapy or herbal medicine has its origins in naturopathy. As the oldest therapeutic method in medicine, it offers the possibility of alleviating, curing and preventing diseases with the help of medicinal plants. In phytotherapy, several parts of the plant are used, such as root, stem, seed, bark, bud, wood or leaf. Worldwide, there are more than 70,000 plant species used in medicine as medicinal plants.
As phytotherapeutic treatment offers completely new possibilities for the treatment of severe diseases, more and more attention is paid to herbal medicine. In the 20th century, the physician Dr. Rudolf Fritz Weiss founded the first chair for phytotherapy in Germany, thus creating a scientific context and more recognition on the part of conventional medicine. From phytotherapy, people want a ,,gentle" medical care that is as free as possible from side effects.
Important to know:
Herbal medicines and herbal supplements should also be taken according to the package insert and recommended use and discontinued if side effects occur. In this case, a visit to the doctor is recommended
