VALEOLOGY AS A SCIENCE OF HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AND HUMAN HEALTH PRESERVATION

Abstract

Valeology is a scientific discipline that studies the preservation, strengthening, and development of human health. Unlike traditional medicine, which mainly focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases, valeology emphasizes disease prevention, healthy lifestyle formation, and the improvement of physical, mental, and social well-being. Modern society faces numerous health-related challenges such as stress, sedentary lifestyle, poor nutrition, and environmental problems, making valeology increasingly important. This article discusses the concept, objectives, principles, methods, and significance of valeology in modern healthcare and education systems.
