Preventive care: Preventive care usually involves working with your physician to monitor for & avoid developing illnesses. It could include dietary changes, exercise, diagnostic tests, periodic exams, immunizations, etc. This overlaps with self-care, which includes what you eat, how you rest & exercise, spiritual practices, relationships, engaging in activities you like, etc. All are needed for healthy life!
