"How Can We Prevent Leukemia?"

Disease Prevention

Disease prevention refers to the proactive measures taken to prevent the occurrence or progression of illnesses, through early detection, diagnosis, and treatment. This can be achieved by cultivating healthy habits, avoiding exposure to toxic and harmful substances, maintaining personal hygiene, and undergoing regular health check-ups. Here are some specific strategies:

1. Cultivate Healthy Habits

Establish a regular sleep schedule, avoid staying up late, and ensure adequate sleep. Engage in regular physical activities such as jogging and swimming to maintain good physical condition. Additionally, refrain from smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and contact with toxic and harmful substances like chemical gases.

2. Avoid Exposure to Toxic and Harmful Substances

When working or engaging in leisure activities in unsafe environments, take protective measures such as wearing masks and ensuring regular ventilation to minimize exposure to toxic and harmful substances.

3. Maintain Personal Hygiene

Avoid using public items like communal baths and toilets. When using public showers, bring your own towel and clean it after use. Change and wash your clothes frequently to maintain personal hygiene and prevent infection from pathogens.

4. Undergo Regular Health Check-ups

Schedule routine health check-ups to monitor your current health status. In case of any abnormalities, seek early detection and treatment. For instance, after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, continue with regular cervical cancer screenings to ensure early detection, diagnosis, and treatment.

5. Other Aspects

During flu seasons, limit outdoor activities and wear masks when necessary. If you have family members who prioritize health, encourage daily ventilation and disinfection at home. Avoid crowded places with poor air circulation, such as malls and cinemas, and minimize contact with potential sources of infection.
