From August 10 to August 16, 2026, a Week of Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases is taking place in Russia, timed to coincide with the International Day of a Healthy Heart, which is celebrated on August 11. 

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are one of the leading causes of death in the world. 

                              What can be done today

Doctors recommend simple but effective measures that really reduce the risks.:

• Monitor key indicators. Regularly measure blood pressure and monitor blood glucose and cholesterol levels.

• Maintain a balanced diet. Increase the proportion of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean protein. Limit salt intake (no more than 5 g per day), added sugar, and saturated fats..

• Be physically active. 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week is sufficient..

• Give up bad habits. Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption significantly increase the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

• Observe sleep patterns and learn how to manage stress. The optimal sleep duration for an adult is 7-8 hours. 

• Do not neglect the doctor's prescriptions. If you already have a diagnosis (for example, hypertension or diabetes mellitus), it is important to take the recommended medications regularly and not cancel them yourself.

          Remember: the heart works seven days a week!  Take care of yourself!

From July 20 to 26, a thematic week dedicated to brain health is being held. The doctors at the Krasivo sanatorium have joined this important campaign by organizing a series of talks for vacationers.

The brain is a key component of the central nervous system that governs the functioning of all organs. Given the significant impact of neurological disorders on life expectancy and quality of life, doctors emphasize the importance of prevention and timely diagnosis. Patients at risk, particularly those who have experienced a stroke, should pay close attention to their health.

The World Federation of Neurology highlights the main rules for maintaining brain health:

1. Balanced diet.

2. Regular physical activity.

3. Constant intellectual activity.

4. Systematic medical examinations.

5. Monitoring vital signs (blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol levels, and heart rate).

Taking care of your brain is the key to longevity. Take care of yourself and monitor your health!

All—Russian Week of Healthy lifestyle: prevention is the key to health! From July 13 to July 19, 2026, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation announced a Week for the Prevention of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). Prevention reduces the risks of serious consequences. Without treatment, some infections can lead to infertility, chronic inflammation, and other serious conditions. Currently, more than 30 sexually transmitted infections are known. 

How to protect yourself from these diseases?

1. Health-saving behavior. This means avoiding sexual contact with people at high risk of infection (so-called "casual" relationships). 

2. Regular use of barrier protection equipment. Do not neglect such a proven remedy as a condom. It is a classic means of STD prevention, the effectiveness of which is close to 100%. Using a condom is mandatory for short-term relationships with a partner.

3. Compliance with the rules of personal hygiene. Do not use other people's shaving machines, toothbrushes, towels, washcloths, underwear, and so on.

4. Regular routine checkups.

If the diagnosis is confirmed, you must follow all your doctor's prescriptions accurately. It is dangerous to self-medicate. Remember: prevention is not about fear, but about awareness and respect for your body. Taking care of your health today is confidence in the future. Take care of yourself!

From 06/29/2026 to 07/05/2026, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation announced a "Week aimed at reducing mortality from external causes." The topic is significant and important. The sanatorium "Krasivo" joins the campaign. The purpose of the Week's events is to raise public awareness. Mortality from external causes is of particular concern to society, since in most cases these causes are eliminated.  In this class of causes of death, there are several groups of external causes of death:

• accidental alcohol poisoning.;

• from all types of transport accidents;

• from suicides;

• from murders;

• from damage with uncertain intentions;

• from accidental falls;

• accidental drownings;

• accidental accidents caused by exposure to smoke, fire and flame.

It is necessary to pay attention to the topics of safe behavior on the water, when lighting an open fire and when engaging in active sports. It is necessary to convey to parents the importance of preventing childhood injuries and accidents. Most often, deaths from external causes occur due to unjustified risk and disregard for safety regulations. We recommend that you take a more reasonable attitude towards your health and your life. Life is priceless – take care of it! We wish you good health!

From June 22 to 28, 2026, Russia hosts the All-Russian Week for the Prevention of Drug Use, timed to coincide with the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, which is celebrated annually on June 26. The medical staff of the Krasivo sanatorium are joining a significant information campaign. The spread of drug use and addiction is one of the most serious problems of modern society.

Narcotic substances affect almost all organs and systems of the body. Drugs are substances that can affect the nervous system and cause a change in human consciousness. All drugs are involved in chemical processes occurring in the brain, change them and lead to the development of addiction – the need to constantly take a psychoactive substance. Drug use causes mental changes, isolation, impoverishment of emotional reactions, perceptual disorders, and motor disorders. 

Among drug addicts, the majority are young people, mostly under the age of 35. Most people become addicted to drugs "for company", and then they lose most of their social contacts. Due to the violation of the emotional and personal sphere, he becomes uninterested in former friends. Finding money to buy drugs moves people into the criminal strata of society. Death from drug use occurs very quickly, which leads to an increase in mortality among young people.

                    Remember, there are no safe drugs!

With deep respect and appreciation,

the staff of the sanatorium "Krasivo".

The average person spends 6-8 hours a day in front of the screen. This is 2-3 times higher than the acceptable standards. Consequences: overwork of the brain, decreased memory and attention, the formation of a real addiction. Of particular concern is the growing digital burden on children and adolescents. Without timely prevention, the health consequences can be serious.

What should I do to take control of the situation?

1. Acknowledge the problem – this is the first step to solving it.

2. Realize that you live in a virtual world.

3. Set strict limits on the time you use your smartphone.

4. Prefer live communication and meetings with friends.

5. Travel, discover new places and experiences.

6. Attend sports and cultural events to diversify your life.

 Smartphones and the Internet are incredible inventions that can make our lives more convenient. But remember: the phone is a tool, not the master of your life. Don't let technology completely take over your mind and heart. Look around you – there are so many amazing things in the real world that are worth seeing and feeling!

We sincerely congratulate you on Russia Day! This is a special holiday filled with a sense of universal unity and pride – for our Motherland, its great history, rich culture, and, of course, for its inhabitants. People who have worked hard and defended the country at all times.

The feeling of love for Russia lives in our deeds, in the results of our work, in caring for loved ones – for children and parents, in a sincere desire to make life better. After all, it depends on us what Russia will be like tomorrow. Therefore, we will do our best to make our children and grandchildren proud of us, just as we are proud of the older generations.

Russia has always been distinguished by its ability to implement the most ambitious plans and take responsibility for solving the most difficult tasks. Each of you deserves the kindest words for your professionalism and the highest dedication to your work, for caring and sincere love for Russia.

We sincerely wish you good health, peace and kindness, success in all your endeavors, happiness and well-being in your families!
