Prevention in everyday life with tomorrow in mind
A walk, a good meal, restful nights and people you enjoy spending time with: quality of life often takes shape in everyday moments. Here you will find ideas for habits that fit your life.

The short answer
Prevention begins with small habits
Prevention goes beyond an aesthetic goal. This section brings together general health guidance and an approach that makes room for enjoyment, movement and rest.
- 01
Keep moving
Regular movement can start with a manageable step and build gradually.
- 02
Food & rest
A predominantly plant-based diet and time for sleep can become part of everyday life.
- 03
Stay connected
Shared meals, time with others and personal routines provide a framework for good habits.
01 / Movement
Movement that fits into your day
You do not have to start with a new exercise programme. Walking somewhere, taking a stroll in the park or arranging a regular time to meet someone can be a good way to begin. It is easier to be consistent when you enjoy the activity and it suits your current physical capacity.
Endurance, strength and flexibility complement one another. If you are just starting out or returning after a long break, you can gradually increase how much you do. If you have a medical condition, are in pain or have had surgery, you may need personalised medical advice before getting active again. Movement does not oblige you to achieve a particular body shape.
02 / Nutrition
Mediterranean eating is, above all, about everyday enjoyment
Plenty of vegetables, pulses, wholegrains, nuts and suitable plant oils offer many possibilities for varied meals. This works just as well with local ingredients as with Italian recipes. There is no need for a special product range or a supplement package.
For me, the Italian way of life also means giving a meal time and attention. That might mean sharing a table, or simply taking the time to enjoy a lunch break. The in-depth article offers simple combinations and explains why Mediterranean eating does not have to be a diet for rapid weight loss.
03 / Sleep & rest
Sleep and recovery are part of the plan
Rest cannot be put off indefinitely. A regular daily rhythm, a quiet period in the evening and a suitable sleeping environment can help make sleep an established part of your routine. What is realistic in your own life also depends on work, family and your health.
If sleep problems persist or significantly affect your daily life, it is sensible to seek a medical assessment. A general evening routine is no substitute for treatment of a sleep disorder. Menopausal difficulties or other symptoms may also play a part.
04 / Enjoying life
Good habits can begin with something simple
A walk together combines movement with time in each other's company. Cooking together can be an opportunity to try something new. These connections turn individual intentions into part of your life, rather than another list of tasks.
Quality of life is personal. Not everyone has the same opportunities, the same health or the same amount of free time. Choose a manageable step that is within your control, and after a while consider whether it is doing you good.
05 / Longevity
Where Aesthetic Longevity fits in
Skincare and ongoing aesthetic care can contribute to your personal wellbeing. They do not replace movement, rest or preventive healthcare. Smoother skin is not a measure of the health of your whole body.
My in-depth article clearly distinguishes between these aspects. Your GP practice and the relevant specialists are the right people to contact about individual preventive examinations, metabolic conditions or hormonal symptoms. This does not mean that I offer a separate screening or hormone service here.
My perspective on the topic
For me, prevention and enjoyment of life belong together
I see long-term wellbeing in the context of everyday life as a whole. I like the idea of starting with something that fits naturally into your own life: eating together, keeping active, finding time to rest. Aesthetic wishes can have their place alongside these things, without determining everything else.

Prevention & quality of life
Here you will find answers to common questions on this topic and further guidance for everyday life.
01Is prevention the same as Aesthetic Longevity?
No. Prevention concerns health in a broader sense. Here, Aesthetic Longevity focuses on long-term skin quality and ongoing aesthetic care. These areas overlap in everyday life, but they are not interchangeable.
02Does Dottore Caletti offer health check-ups or hormone therapy here?
These pages provide guidance and do not constitute an offer of these services. Please discuss your individual preventive care, symptoms or questions about hormones with your GP practice or the relevant specialist.
03Is liposuction part of prevention?
Liposuction is used for body contouring in suitable candidates. It does not replace preventive healthcare, treatment for metabolic conditions or long-term weight management. You can find information about this in the body section.
