Introduction. In the modern world, a wide range of anthropological and pedagogical problems arises. There are a number of studies according to which humanity, preoccupied only with unlimited consumption of goods, eventually becomes unviable. A postman, represented as a subject in the postmodern philosophy, with a sharp predominance of bodily desires and all sorts of delusions, is not capable of creation, broad creativity, restoring the balance of social and natural life on our planet. Therefore, the life-affirming alternative to this way of changing people is the well-known educational direction of forming an integral, harmoniously developed man as physically strong, strong-willed, intellectually prepared, morally educated, spiritually developed individual. Methodology and methods of the research. Dialectical methodology, methods of interrelationship between historical and logical, induction and deduction, biomedical, valeological, pedagogical, physical education and sports, comparative analysis, integration of knowledge about health and healthy lifestyle. The results of the research. An integrated approach to the formation of a whole person with strong physical and mental health, consciously organizing a healthy lifestyle, first under the guidance of experienced teachers, mentors, and then through self-education, self-management, and self-perfection.
