Men's Health Week has been taking place since February 17th. The doctors of the sanatorium "Krasivo" told the basic rules for maintaining the youthfulness of a man's soul and body. 

Physical activity - The intensity of blood circulation and metabolism depends on movement. 

Balanced nutrition - Together with proper nutrition, a man receives the building material for male sex hormones. 

Maintaining testosterone levels - A deficiency of this hormone leads to a decrease in muscle mass and a decrease in overall tissue tone.

Regular urologist checkups - Many diseases are almost asymptomatic and may not bother a man at all. Only an individual approach can ensure effective treatment.

Quitting smoking - Every time you light another cigarette, you need to remember that nicotine causes blood vessel spasms and impairs the nutrition of vital organs. 

After 45 years of age, regular (once a year) blood donation for cancer markers - Modern diagnostics at the earliest stages allows you to identify tumor processes or predisposition to them. 

Enjoyment of life - Human happiness depends on the inner worldview. It has long been proven that a person who has a hobby or is interested in anything, lives his life much more consciously and happily and usually feels much better than his peers. Be happy and healthy!

   The week of awareness about heart diseases (in honor of the International Day of awareness about heart defects on February 14) is held in the sanatorium "Krasivo" from February 09 to February 15, 2026.  Medical workers, doctors and nurses of the Krasivo sanatorium join the information campaign and hold talks, seminars, health hours, conferences and lectures on a significant topic.  Diseases of the cardiovascular system are diverse and widespread, they affect people of all age groups.

   The heart is the most important organ of our body. A person's health and life expectancy directly depend on the state of the cardiovascular system. It is necessary to protect the heart from a young age. Patients with heart defects mainly suffer from signs of heart failure.  It is important to pay attention to the prevention of the development of acquired heart defects.  The best treatment is prevention! To maintain and maintain the health of the cardiovascular system, it is necessary to lead a healthy lifestyle. Measures to prevent the development of acquired heart defects include a healthy lifestyle, rehabilitation of infectious foci, hardening, and improving the fitness of the body. For the purpose of control, a medical examination by a cardiologist is necessary.

   When a heart defect is detected in a patient, he is put on the dispensary register and recommended to lead a healthy lifestyle: avoid heavy physical exertion, eat rationally, normalize body weight, give up smoking and alcohol. These simple rules will help prevent the progression of the disease. Be healthy!!!

Cancer Prevention Week will be held in Russia from February 02 to 08, 2026 (in honor of World Cancer Day on February 4). Medical workers, doctors and nurses of the Krasivo sanatorium join the information campaign and hold talks, seminars, health hours, conferences and lectures on a significant topic. 

     It is possible to diagnose oncological diseases with the help of regular professional examinations and medical examinations. The best prevention of diseases is to lead a healthy lifestyle, namely:

1. Quitting tobacco.

2. Commitment to proper nutrition.

3. Maintaining body weight.

4. Regular physical activity.

     Early detection of oncological diseases makes it possible to provide the most effective treatment. Many risk factors are behavioral and can be adjusted. Smoking and other harmful habits are the most important risk factor for cancer. Modern medicine has a wide range of techniques that can deal with most types of tumors if the cancer is diagnosed at an early stage. Go through medical examinations and professional examinations. Cancer is not a sentence! It can be treated or prevented by having information about the disease. This is exactly the goal pursued by the world medical community, establishing World Cancer Day. We wish you good health!

     Since January 26, the Russian Ministry of Health has been holding an important Week for the Prevention of Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases. The medical staff of the Krasivo sanatorium are joining a significant information campaign. We have prepared booklets, flyers, talks and popular science films for vacationers. 

     Chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are caused not by infections, but by a combination of genetic, physiological, environmental, and behavioral factors characterized by a prolonged course.

The main types of CVD include diseases of the circulatory system, malignant neoplasms, respiratory diseases and diabetes mellitus.

                                 The main risk factors for the development of CNID:

- smoking and alcohol consumption;

- irrational nutrition;

- low physical activity;

- stress.

     Some of the risk factors cannot be changed (gender, age, heredity), but we can control most of the risk factors.

Conclusion: the most effective way to prevent CVD is to adhere to the principles of a healthy diet, increase physical activity and give up bad habits.

The most important role in the prevention of diseases is played by monitoring the state of health, regular preventive medical examinations and medical examinations. Take care of yourself today, give up bad habits and get a routine checkup. We wish you good health!

     A week of promoting calorie counting has begun in Russia. The medical staff of the Krasivo sanatorium is joining a significant information campaign. It is noted that most people do not get enough physical activity in their daily lives. It is true that many of us do not need to expend a lot of energy or engage in strenuous physical labor. However, we have started consuming more high-calorie foods. 

     There is a significant correlation between excess weight and serious chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke, and cancer. Recently, it has been noted that Russians are consuming less fish, fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens, and more bread products, potatoes, and red and processed meat (sausages). We are also consuming excessive amounts of sweets, especially sugar. For those who are determined to lose weight, the doctors at the Krasivo Health Resort recommend keeping a calorie count.

     The numbers must be recorded. At first, you need to be disciplined: get used to counting calories and entering the foods you eat in your diary before each meal. However, after 1-2 months, you will have a rough daily menu, and you will be able to determine your daily food intake without counting. Additionally, experts recommend avoiding fast food, confectionery, and planning your menu for the next day. Take care of yourself!

Winter is a time of increased injury. The reason is often ice, early darkness, and slippery shoes. The deterioration of the condition of the roadway affects the increase in the frequency of road accidents and the increase in the number of victims. According to statistics, winter injuries account for up to 15% of the incidence of temporary disability. In icy conditions, it is better to stay at home, but if you need to go outside, then wear the most comfortable flat shoes, avoid haste, and avoid dangerous areas.; when exiting public transport or going down the stairs, be sure to hold onto the railing or ask passersby for help.

Chills and frostbite (15-17% of all winter injuries) are another serious problem in traumatology. In case of frostbite, never rub the affected area with snow. To prevent tissue necrosis, warming of the affected area should be gradual! 

An aggravating factor of injury is alcohol intoxication, which accompanies injuries in almost 30% of cases. To reduce the risk of falling in icy conditions, the following rules must be followed::

• preferably wear shoes with flat soles or low square heels.;

• you can attach a strip of sandpaper or ordinary adhesive tape to the sole of the shoe, shoes with a fluted sole are better suited.;

• in icy conditions, you need to walk in a special way - as if sliding a little, as if on small skis, stepping on the entire sole.;

take care of yourself!!!

  Physical activity is an important element of maintaining health and a healthy lifestyle. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends 150 minutes of moderate physical activity or 75 minutes of intense physical activity for the full functioning of the human body. Insufficient physical activity is one of the main risk factors for developing diseases. People with low physical activity have a 33% higher risk of getting sick compared to those who devote enough time to physical activity. Increasing the level of physical activity in people reduces the risk of depression and is a prevention of aging.  

  The sanatorium's doctors have prepared lectures, talks, films, videos, booklets and flyers about physical activity, diet and disease prevention. Moreover, there is a sports and recreation complex with a total area of 2,500 square meters for physical education in the Krasno sanatorium. It consists of a large sports hall with an area of more than 600 square meters, two gyms, two physical therapy rooms, massage rooms, a sports equipment rental point and a billiard room. All halls are equipped with the necessary modern equipment. Exercise bikes, treadmills, and power sports equipment await vacationers. This complex solved the problem of organizing the individual motor regime of patients. The variety of types of physical therapy, the capacity of the halls, and the available equipment made it possible to increase the coverage of physical therapy for vacationers to 100%. The week of promoting an active lifestyle is an occasion for the whole country to unite with the famous slogan: "A healthy body has a healthy mind"!

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.

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!
