Abstract
People’s health has been the basis of human’s existence since ancient times. Progress in many spheres of life has been dependent on both physical and spiritual health. For centuries, people have been using traditional knowledge of staying healthy based on healing and traditional medicine. Ethical canons used to help the nation be united as well as alive. The 21st century brought about great changes in every aspect of human’s life which made the experience gained for centuries insufficient for staying healthy. The solution to the problem is a combination of traditional knowledge, social, ecological, pedagogical and some other approaches. In order to build a system of training a person to live healthily, integrated teaching and educational approach should be used. It is vital because the main function of education is continuous training of the youth for social life. Medical and educational universities are the most important in the process of solving problems concerning both public health and individual lifestyles.
