PREVENTIVE MODEL OF A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE IN THE TEACHINGS OF IBN SINA AND ABU BAKR AL-RAZI AND ITS MODERN INTERPRETATION

Abstract

This study explores the preventive model of healthy living in the philosophical and medical teachings of Ibn Sina and Abu Bakr al-Razi and examines its relevance in the context of contemporary health paradigms. The research is based on the analysis of classical texts, including The Canon of Medicine and Spiritual Medicine, as well as modern scholarly interpretations. The findings show that both thinkers developed a comprehensive approach to health based on prevention, balance, and self-regulation. Ibn Sina emphasizes the role of environmental, dietary, and lifestyle factors in maintaining physiological balance, while Abu Bakr al-Razi highlights the importance of ethical behavior and psychological well-being. As a result, health is interpreted as a dynamic state achieved through the harmony of body and mind. The study concludes that the preventive model proposed by these scholars anticipates key principles of modern holistic health approaches and remains relevant for addressing contemporary challenges related to lifestyle and well-being.
