Your friend Julio has told you that he thinks prevention is the best kind of medical treatment. If this summarizes his attitude about personal health, which of the following would you expect him to do?

Brush and floss his teeth regularly to avoid gum disease and cavities

Exercise only when his friends invite him to play basketball and soccer

Limit his calorie intake because he doesn't want to appear overweight to his peers

Tell his parents he went to the doctor even if he arrived too late to complete the appointment

I believe the answer would be the first choice: Brush and Floss his teeth regularly to avoid gum disease and cavities because the word avoid is similarly related to prevent. he is partaking in those actions so he can prevent what happens if you don't. hope it helps.

The correct answer is A.

By brushing and flossing his teeth regularly to avoid gum disease and cavities he is using a method of prevention in regards to his personal health. Brushing and flossing are activities of personal hygiene related to health. The other activities will not enforce prevention.
