Preventive medicine is a form of medicine which is used preemptively for the prevention of certain diseases. It is a great way to stop the occurrence of a disease altogether and not even give it a chance to develop in the body. Preventive medicine can be used to prevent many fatal diseases which do not have any cure. These diseases could otherwise cripple the whole body and even the best doctors will be left helpless when they cannot find a way to get around the problem. This type of medicine is practiced by doctors to prevent diseases and promote the health and well being of an individual. When someone is seemingly immune to illness, they can focus on the more important things in their life without being distracted by ill health. A healthy body also lives longer and is the basis of any healthy and long life.
