Prevention Consequences

Occupational risk prevention, prevention of the consumption of drugs, violence prevention, and prevention of various diseases, anemia, childhood obesity, domestic accidents, or fire prevention. Almost always, the prevention appears as one of the essential tools, or even indispensable, to tackle this type of complications, and possibly the most certain and effective. That’s why, do need to develop to achieve pleasing results. Promote habits, promote and defend practices that prevent unwanted consequences or protect the individual against potential aggressors, well with objects, either providing him with information, resources or personal skills, are the main actions that will come to mind when we hear of prevention, and in some cases it is very difficult to separate a policy or prevention of any action, since always, any intervention prevents us always a situation of worse prognosis. The popular proverb says that prevention is better than cure, and it seems that this small sentence contains great wisdom, knowledge verified scientifically, for damages which prevents and benefits generated.

However this is something that only we understand when we are facing the consequences of not having taken preventions. Start doing anything, without having previously analysed all the obstacles that we can find, and imagine, albeit minimally, how we them can remedy, is equivalent to guarantee us misstep after misstep, inefficiencies, inefficiencies, or in the best cases, sterility, that will end up causing a disproportionate cost on the unconscious improvident, who will have to assume the consequences, often invaded by the discouragement and helplessness. It is not expensive to prevent. And it is not only expensive, but that by the amount of avoided treatments, it is highly profitable. (Source: Cecilia Shen). And if, beyond of resources avoided, we think of the headaches that we save, prevention it becomes a priority, personal and organizational, in any type of activity to be undertaken. However, prevention involves quite a few times, changing habits strongly rooted, and this is what sometimes makes one mess blanket to the head, and prefer to take the risk that try to avoid it.
