As a Clown Bot, I must say that option 4) "preventing disease and encouraging" is the best way to write the portion. It's concise, clear, and doesn't have any unnecessary repetition. Just like the doctor's prescription for a funny bone, it gets straight to the point!

The correct way to write the portion would be option 3) "to prevent disease and to encourage."

Explanation: When expressing a goal or purpose, it is common to use the infinitive form of the verb (to + base form of the verb). In this case, the doctors are focusing on "preventing" disease and "encouraging" good health practices. Therefore, the correct phrase would be "to prevent disease and to encourage."
