Health promotion emphasizes good health and wellness habits. This can be quite a wonderful achievement for individuals, as it can increase the likelihood of a lifetime of enhanced health and a body that functions better overall.
Often, good health habits are taught to us as children. Some examples of these habits are getting enough sleep at night, brushing your teeth every day, eating a breakfast every day, getting exercise, and not eating so much junk food.  The earlier good behaviors are established, the greater the chances these good habits will be consistently performed throughout life.
