Learning about illness and its effects on health, and how to avoid it and how to restore health, where another factor, the social one, also affects health. This leads us to question the means by which the state of health and well-being are socially constituted. This view leads to an understanding of the participation of the entire population in the context of their daily lives, and not just people at risk of falling ill. To achieve an understanding of the reasons why one should behave in one way and not another, and a continuity of an exercise of the mind in its broadening and deepening, this leads to active participation in the necessary decisions and positions as members of a society. Thus, Educating for Health is about getting people to be able to achieve a level of health satisfaction that, through their active participation in the problems of their community and their liberation, leads them to a transformation through reflection and criticism of the reality in which they live, not just filling their heads with what they are supposed to be ignorant of.
