Mini University Conversations
Mohammed Torabi
Professor, Applied Health Science
“When we talk about our health care, we’re really dealing with disease care, not health care. We do not make enough of an investment in the prevention side of it.”
Prevention as a Cure
Mohammed Torabi, Professor, Applied Health Science
The leading causes of death among Americans are preventable. What does that mean? How can we prevent illness, disease, and premature death? Applied Health Science Professor Mohammed Torabi discusses the impact of tobacco use, level of activity, nutrition, and overall lifestyle on our quality and length of life, and how educating ourselves on healthy living can improve our overall health.
