What do encouraging breastfeeding with seminars and counseling represent?

  1. Public health nutrition

  2. Health promotion

  3. Primary prevention

  4. Secondary prevention

The correct answer is: Health promotion

Encouraging breastfeeding through seminars and counseling represents health promotion because it involves activities aimed at improving the health of individuals and communities. Health promotion encompasses a range of strategies that empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. In this context, seminars and counseling provide valuable information and support to new mothers, helping them understand the benefits of breastfeeding for both their health and that of their infants. This approach focuses on increasing awareness, knowledge, and skills regarding breastfeeding, thereby motivating mothers to adopt healthier behaviors. By emphasizing education and support, health promotion strategies aim to foster a supportive environment that encourages breastfeeding. In contrast, while public health nutrition might include broader initiatives, health promotion specifically targets behaviors and lifestyles that enhance health outcomes, making it the most appropriate label for the activities described.
