Healthy behavior between traditional and modern medicine
A field study on a sample of patients in the city of Laghouat, Algeria
Keywords:
health, healthy behavior, traditional medicine, modern medicineAbstract
In our time, the scope for healthy behavior has expanded due to the rich heritage and inheritance of traditional medicine, which reaches into spirituality and what is not perceptible to the sensitivity on the one hand, On the other hand, there is modern contemporary medicine that relies on advanced machines and detectors, complex chemical preparations, microscopic stem cells, and serums whose future outcomes are unknown. With this enormous expansion, social reality indicates many dissonances and contradictions between them, as the matter worsened with the absence of a hyphen that attempts to unite them, especially with regard to the moral and social dimension of the disease and its organic and vital dimension, and if healthy behavior is based on beliefs and perceptions that aspire to many health and physical benefits in the first place, then it is supposed to be more framing and directing them at the present time, as all this progress is being made. However, social reality emphasizes the increasing severity of health alienation and the emergence of irrational health behaviors.
