Preventive courses: fortify your health
According to the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH), personal lifestyle has a bearing on around half of all chronic conditions. Changes in how we eat and exercise and in our sense of wellbeing can all have a major impact. Prevention comprises measures designed to prevent specific health disorders and their negative effects from occurring.
It’s a great start if you can lead your life according to your own wishes and needs while addressing the challenges that chronic diseases entail. Taking your own life into your hands, also called self-management, is a key component of disease management programmes, and also of the following preventive courses.
