Health promotion is: "the process of enabling people to increase control over their health and its determinants, and thereby improve their physical and mental/psychological health"  (World Health Organization (WHO), 2005)  
It means any activity that seeks to improve a person’s or population’s health by providing information about, and increasing awareness of, good behaviors to be healthy as well as at-risk behaviors associated with various diseases (with the intent of reducing them).  Health-promoting behaviors include adoption of a healthy lifestyle with regular physical exercise and sleep/recovery, healthy nutrition, smoking cessation, avoidance of alcohol or substance abuse, cancer prevention, cardiovascular risk prevention, and also other positive behaviors at work contributing to improving general health, wellbeing and preventing some occupational risks.
