👉 Preventatives are actions or substances that help to prevent harm, illness, or injury. They can be used in conjunction with other health care strategies such as physical therapy, medication, and nutrition to promote better health outcomes. Preventatives can include things like regular exercise, a healthy diet, enough sleep, stress management techniques, and avoiding risky behaviors. They are often recommended for people who have a history of illness or injury, but they can also be beneficial for those without these conditions.
