Week of Prevention of Chronic Non-Infectious Diseases

     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!
