The essential difference between health promotion and disease prevention (health protection) lies in the motivation. When a healthy behavior, such as exercise, is done for the person to feel "good," to achieve a high level of wellness, the behavior is health promotion. When a healthy behavior is done to prevent a disease, it is disease prevention (health protection).
prevention is stop disease from happening and control is stop somehing that already happen

Control refers to managing or reducing the impact of a disease or condition that is already present, while prevention involves taking measures to avoid the occurrence of the disease or condition altogether. Control strategies focus on minimizing the spread and impact of an existing problem, whereas prevention strategies aim to stop the problem from happening in the first place.
The levels of prevention used in the community are primary prevention (before the onset of a health issue), secondary prevention (early detection and intervention), and tertiary prevention (managing existing conditions to prevent complications). These levels help address health issues at different stages to promote overall well-being.
