APPLICATION OF PREVENTIVE MEDICINE

Preventive medicine is the science and art of preventing diseases, prolonging life and

promoting physical and mental health and efficiency. Overall, Deveelove prepare healthy meals

for her family on a daily basis since her husband and her children needs to maintain their good

health and wellness for their activities, ensuring that the family eat proper meals three times

daily with proper nutritional plate. She also instructs her children to drink a lot of water since

they are fond of eating salty and sweets. They do have vitamins for supplementation. Mommy

Deveelove and her family do not easily get sick, so she is not that worried about it. If sickness

occurs, they intended to go to the nearest health center in their area. Aside from proper

nutrition, personal hygiene is also observed in the family. She makes sure that everybody in the

house bathes regularly and as needed especially her youngest son. Nevertheless, she

maintains the cleanliness and orderliness of their home. Since they live from the province,

sometimes they have herbal medications for their health.
