optimal nutrition, exercise, vaccinations, injury prevention, hygiene + sanitation,
avoiding harmful substances, stress management, safe living/work environments
-secondary prevention ; identifying a disease at its earliest stage - through screening -
to initiate treatment and decrease the chance of the disease developing any further or
worsening
-tertiary prevention - minimizing effects of disease and disability through adherence to
medication, nutrition, exercise and disease management
-promoting biological wellness - through exercises
social wellness - through activities that require interactions with people, pets or both
functional wellness - through physical environments that promote healing and
encourage the patient to be active

multiple risk factors for ADE. to minimize this: "start slow, go slow, but go"
