The discipline of health education has the major challenge of establishing principles and methodologies that enable people to learn healthy practices and lifestyles so as to enhance their capacity for resilience. In addition, health education seeks to develop and promote the process of addressing struggles or mishaps of life and of resisting, overcoming and transforming adversity in order to emerge strengthened or even renewed. The development of fundamental strategies for the prevention of disease and the recovery of health through health education interventions results in positive adaptation in contexts of great adversity. In addition, health education interventions should help people learn to take measures that enhance their ability to combat disease and that properly harmonize and balance mind-body function. Health promotion strategies should be directed toward prevention and resolution of health problems and toward improving quality of life .
