From December 23, 2025, to January 5, 2026, the Week of Alcohol Abuse Prevention during the New Year holidays is taking place. The staff of the Krasivo sanatorium is joining the information campaign.

New Year's Eve is one of the most anticipated nights of the year. It is important not to spoil it by compromising your health due to excessive indulgence in food and drink. After all, New Year's Eve is not about feasting but about celebrating! Let it be a joyful and bright occasion, a harbinger of happy changes and pleasant surprises! Millions of people are looking forward to the New Year's holidays, and medical professionals are once again preparing for the challenging New Year's week. Alcohol is a natural poison that affects the process of inhibition. Scientists around the world who study the effects of alcohol on the human brain have noted that even a single drink of strong alcohol can disrupt the complex functioning of the brain. 

To avoid the consequences of alcohol consumption during the New Year celebration, follow these rules:

• Do what you don't have enough time for in your daily routine.
• Variety the selection of non-alcoholic beverages on your table.
• Plan a celebration rather than a feast.

Spend your holidays wisely to feel refreshed and rejuvenated! Let the New Year holidays not be a source of regret, but rather a beginning of something new, bright, and joyful! Stay healthy and happy! Happy New Year 2026!

From December 22 to December 28, a Week of promoting healthy Eating is being held in Russia as part of the National Healthcare Project. The medical staff of the Krasivo sanatorium are joining a significant information campaign. Maintaining a healthy eating system helps to avoid metabolic disorders and associated diseases.

1. It is important to focus on the inclusion of essential foods in the diet (fish 2 times a week, nuts, vegetables and fruits).

2. The problem of the modern world is fast food, fast food. If you eat such food every day, your body will hardly say "thank you." And even if you feel good now, it does not mean that your health will be at the same level in the future.

3. If you decide to follow the rules of a healthy diet, you will have to reduce the consumption of the following foods to the maximum:

***All kinds of sweets (buns and pastries, cookies and chocolate bars, ice cream).

***Smoked products, canned food, fatty, spicy, salty, and fried foods. 

***Semi-finished products, carbonated water, and industrial juices.

Good health is the result of working on yourself and your eating habits. It requires willpower, self-discipline, and loyalty to your principles. We wish you good health!

A Week of responsible attitude to health is being held in Russia from December 15 to December 21. Responsible attitude to health, on which the quality and duration of human life depend, is perhaps the most important component of healthcare in general. WHO defines responsible health as the ability of individuals, families, and communities to promote health. 

                 What does a responsible attitude to health include?:

1. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle;

2. Monitoring your own health;

3. Responsible use of products for self-care of health, proper storage and use of medicines.

Today, people have much more opportunities to prevent the development of serious complications. And the first thing to start with is the correction of modifiable risk factors. These include controlling blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels, abstaining from alcohol and smoking, and adhering to a healthy lifestyle. 

The most important rule is to consult a doctor for any complaints, whether it's seasonal acute respiratory viral infections or exacerbation of chronic diseases. But the responsibility lies precisely in the fact that the patient should take care of his health no less than the doctor, because this is primarily in his interests. Regularly undergo preventive medical examinations or medical examinations: they will allow you to identify diseases when there are no symptoms yet. Take care of yourself!

Tobacco addiction is one of the most common and dangerous habits of mankind! As part of the National Healthcare Project, in 2025, from December 8-14, a week of prevention of nicotine–containing products is being held in Russia.

Nicotine is a toxic alkaloid. Once in the human body, it affects certain areas of the brain. The receptors located on the bodies of dopamine neurons have the highest sensitivity to it. When interacting, nicotine provokes the release of dopamine, thereby forming a human reflex to receive pleasure after smoking. And at the same time, the so-called "withdrawal syndrome" or "withdrawal reaction". This is a condition after smoking, when headaches, weakness, low blood pressure, increased anxiety and irritability, problems with concentration, etc. may appear. In an effort to get rid of this body reaction, smokers resume tobacco consumption. This is how addiction is formed.

The World Health Organization states that 10% of smokers suffer from cancer caused by tobacco. In 90% of cases, smoking causes lung cancer. At the same time, if someone thinks that e-cigarettes are less harmful than regular ones, they are deeply mistaken. There are no devices that could be used without danger to health.

Smoking is the worst experiment on oneself.  And the best thing a person can do for their health is not to start smoking at all. Take care of yourself!

HIV infection is a disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus. HIV affects the human immune system, eventually making it unable to resist other diseases and infections.

AIDS is the last stage of the development of HIV infection, when the body's immune system exhausts its resources and stops resisting opportunistic foreign agents.  The virus is transmitted from one person to another in only three ways. The sexual path. Through the blood. Infection of a child from an HIV-infected mother. There are no other ways to transmit HIV infection. Today, HIV infection is not a verdict, because timely initiation of treatment, abstinence from drug use, makes it possible to transfer the disease to the category of a chronic controlled disease.

It is necessary to know and remember what will help to avoid HIV infection: protected sexual contact; mutual fidelity of partners to each other. Despite ongoing global efforts to overcome HIV/However, the number of new infections remains very high. 

The only way to fight AIDS is to prevent and maintain your body. It is necessary to know exactly your HIV status so that, if the virus is detected in the body, you can start treatment on time without leading to fatal consequences. Take care of yourself!

From November 24 to November 30, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation announced the Week of Prevention of Gastrointestinal Diseases. This week is a great opportunity to remember the simple but effective rules of taking care of your digestive system.  Why is gastrointestinal health so important? 

The absorption of nutrients that give us energy depends on it. Up to 70% of the cells of our immune system are located in the intestine. The state of the digestive tract directly affects our emotional state.

The main rules of stomach and intestinal health:

• Balanced diet: Eat more vegetables, fruits, and whole grains rich in fiber. Limit fried, spicy, fast food, and sugary sodas.

• Diet: Try to eat at the same time, in small portions. Don't skip breakfast!

• Sufficient water intake: Drink 1.5-2 liters of clean water per day — it helps digestion.

• Avoiding stressful situations.

• Giving up bad habits.

 In case of gastrointestinal problems, you should not self-medicate. And remember: "It's easier to prevent a disease than to treat it," as the "father of medicine," Hippocrates, used to say.

Every year, on the third Thursday of November, International Smoking Cessation Day is celebrated on the initiative of the International Society of Oncologists and with the support of the World Health Organization (WHO).  The medical staff of the Krasivo sanatorium are joining the information campaign and have prepared lectures, talks, flyers and videos on a significant topic.

    The purpose of the International Day of Smoking Cessation is to help reduce the prevalence of tobacco addiction, involve all segments of the population in the fight against smoking, prevent tobacco smoking and inform society about the harmful effects of tobacco on health.

The tobacco epidemic is one of the most serious threats to public health that has ever occurred in the world. WHO experts note that all forms of tobacco use are harmful to health, and there is no harmless dose of tobacco. In recent years, vapes, which are electronic cigarettes, have become widespread. Smoking electronic devices is promoted as a safe alternative to regular cigarettes. However, e-cigarettes are also unsafe. 

It should be noted that with good awareness of the health risks of smoking, people tend to get rid of nicotine addiction, but the habit of smoking is so strong that there is no way to give it up.

We encourage everyone to think about their health and the health of their loved ones!

Lung cancer is one of the most common and dangerous cancers, which kills millions of people worldwide every year. The main cause of the development of this disease is smoking, but do not forget about other risk factors such as air pollution, heredity and exposure to harmful substances. Lung Cancer Prevention Week is held to raise awareness about the disease, its early detection and the need for prevention. The doctors of the sanatorium "Krasivo" are joining the infocampany.

Lung cancer risk factors can be divided into two categories – internal and external. The first includes a hereditary history: if one of the relatives had cancer, then this person has an increased risk of developing this disease. 

All other factors are external. This is work related to harmful chemical and diesel fumes, asbestos, arsenic, etc. Work in rooms with high dust content, with an increased amount of radon. 

Recommendation to patients: be attentive to their health, follow the doctor's recommendations, and do not ignore the annual medical check-up. Take care of yourself!

   Every year, on October 29, World Stroke Day is celebrated, which was established by the World Stroke Organization to call for urgent action in the global fight against this disease. The medical staff of the Krasivo sanatorium join the information campaign – they conduct lectures, talks and organize screenings of popular science and documentaries on a significant topic. 

   Events dedicated to World Stroke Day are aimed at raising citizens' awareness of the problem of stroke, knowledge of the signs of stroke and the order of independent actions and actions of others, the importance of proper and timely first aid, the need for timely medical examinations and preventive medical examinations, the need to correct risk factors and control physiological parameters.

   In 2025, the World Stroke Day will be held under the motto:

"Raising awareness and stepping up actions for stroke prevention." Raising awareness about stroke, its risk factors, and the importance of timely intervention helps people recognize the signs of stroke and take prompt action. Prevention propaganda suggests taking control of your health by leading a healthy lifestyle, giving up bad habits, finding hobbies, hiking, and eating right, which will significantly reduce the risk of stroke. Support for stroke survivors and rehabilitation activities can help them return to a normal life. Take care of yourself and your loved ones! Knowledge, prevention, and timely action are our main allies in the fight against stroke.
