According to the definition of the World Health Organization (WHO), the workplace is the optimal organizational form of health protection and maintenance, disease prevention. Comfortable working conditions and a favorable psychological atmosphere in the team contribute to the protection of people's mental health and increase their productivity. Today, an important area of development of public health protection is the introduction of corporate programs at enterprises. These are multi-module projects aimed at preventing the main risk factors for the development of non-communicable diseases.

What can be attributed to such practices?

Healthy eating in the workplace, physical activity, giving up bad habits, stress management. Stress leads to numerous health problems such as depression, heart disease, diabetes and obesity. Professional examinations and timely vaccination of employees. The active interaction of the administration of the sanatorium "Krasivo" and the corporate sector is a necessary element in the development of employee health protection. We have already seen the need for such programs, and for the period from 2020 to 2024. We have not only implemented, but also adjusted the implementation of programs to meet the requirements of modern reality. We wish you good health!

On April 15, the Week of Popularization of Blood Donation started in Russia. Events dedicated to the National Donor Day are traditionally held on April 20 in all Russian regions, they raise the problems of donation in Russia and exchange experiences. The occasion for the celebration was a very humane event — on April 20, 1832, a young St. Petersburg obstetrician Andrei Martinovich Wolf successfully performed the first blood transfusion in history for the first time. The Donor Day itself, in memory of this first blood transfusion, was established on February 20, 2007 at a round table on the problems of donation and blood service, held in the State Duma of the Russian Federation.

The doctors of the sanatorium "Krasivo" join the information campaign, have prepared leaflets and booklets. On this day, we express our gratitude to people who voluntarily and gratuitously donate their blood necessary to save human lives, and raise awareness of the need for regular blood donation to ensure the quality, safety and availability of blood and blood products for patients in need.

This day is dedicated to the donors themselves - people who donate their blood free of charge for the benefit of the health and life of complete strangers. We wish you all good health! Take care of yourself!

Doctors of the sanatorium "Krasivo" join the infocampany. The purpose of the health week is to form a commitment among the population to follow the rules of a healthy diet with an emphasis on the possibilities of controlling the energy balance. Irrational nutrition with excessive energy consumption of food, low physical activity and a sedentary lifestyle are the main factors in the increase in the prevalence of abdominal and generalized obesity.

Obesity is recognized by the World Health Organization as a new non-communicable epidemic of our time, posing a serious threat to human health. Obesity is one of the most serious risk factors for the development of diseases, primarily of the cardiovascular system, cancer, diabetes mellitus, diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

The main principle of a rational diet for obesity is to reduce the caloric content of the daily diet to 1800 kcal per day for men and 1500 kcal for women. The diet should be balanced: the proportion of proteins in the daily diet should be 25%, fats — 20%, carbohydrates — 55%. Eating a large amount of foods containing vegetable fibers (vegetables and fruits at least 400 g per day) will help to cope with hunger and facilitate dieting. You should eat 4-5 times a day in small portions. Let food become your medicine, otherwise medicine can become food! Take care of yourself!

Spring is the time of awakening and the beginning of tick activity, especially in the period from mid–April to May. Starved after hibernation, ticks in this spring and warm season are very active in search of food.

To avoid tick bites, it is necessary:

1. From the beginning of April to the middle of September, be careful when visiting tick habitats - in the country, in parks and squares, in the forest, in areas with tall grass.

2.When visiting these places, it is necessary to choose light monochrome closed clothing that fits snugly to the body, preventing ticks from crawling, and use a headdress or hood.

3. Apply special protective repellents (with DETA (Diethyltoluamide) from 20% or permethrin 0.5%), in accordance with the instructions for use.

4. Regularly inspect clothes and body for ticks.

Currently, there are vaccines against tick-borne encephalitis - Tick-E-Vak (Russia), EnceVir (Russia) and others. Immunoprophylaxis is carried out for persons permanently residing or temporarily staying in territories endemic for tick-borne encephalitis in order to actively prevent it. Before vaccination, it is necessary to consult a doctor. Take care of yourself!

A Week of promoting a healthy lifestyle has started in Russia. On April 7, 2024, World Health Day and the World Health Organization are celebrated.

According to official statistics, over the years of the state policy aimed at protecting citizens from alcohol consumption, tobacco smoke and the consequences of tobacco use, the prevalence of smoking and alcohol in the country has been steadily decreasing. In recent years, there has been a slowdown in the rate of decline in the prevalence of cigarette smoking, but an increase in the consumption of other nicotine-containing products: vapes, electronic cigarettes, tobacco heating products, hookahs and smokeless tobacco.

There remains insufficient awareness among the population that these products, due to the content of highly toxic nicotine, cause addiction and other diseases caused by toxins contained in tobacco smoke. This is facilitated by the aggressive marketing of these products by tobacco companies, aimed primarily at teenagers and young people.

This festive week, information events are held in the sanatorium "Krasivo" under various slogans – "Sport prolongs life", "Replace a cigarette with a candy", "Smoking is not fashionable" and others. Doctors have prepared lectures, talks, leaflets, films and videos about the dangers of smoking. Everyone can get specific recommendations that will help to cope with addiction. Remember that your health is only in your hands!

The medical staff of the sanatorium "Krasivo" are actively involved in the information campaign, carry out explanatory work that infectious diseases occur in the presence of pathogenic microorganisms and are transmitted from an infected person to a healthy one. The main ways of transmission of infection are airborne, alimentary, sexual transmission (viral hepatitis B and C, HIV infection, etc.) and blood transmission (most often viral hepatitis B, HIV infection).

Prevention of infectious diseases includes individual and community prevention.

World Tuberculosis Day is celebrated on March 24. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease, the causative agent of which is Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MBT), or in another way Koch's wand, named after its discoverer, the German scientist Robert Koch. Koch's work played an important role in the fight against tuberculosis and in 1911 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for his outstanding discovery. The basis for tuberculosis prevention is the BCG vaccine. It is usually placed in the hospital in the first days of the child's life. The immune system is formed, which protects the child from infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Adults need to undergo a fluorographic examination at least once a year in a polyclinic in order to detect tuberculosis in the early stages. Take care of yourself!

Hepatitis C is a disease caused by the hepatitis C virus. The disease is formidable and everyone should be able to protect themselves from infection. If, after infection with the hepatitis C virus, the human body could not cope with it on its own and the virus continues to multiply for more than 6 months, the disease can turn into a chronic form. Chronic hepatitis C occurs quite often, on average in 3 out of 4 people.

The hepatitis C virus is found in large quantities in the blood and other biological fluids of an infected person. Infection most often occurs when the blood of an infected person enters the bloodstream or on the damaged skin and mucous membranes of another person.

Doctors of the sanatorium "Krasivo" join the information campaign – they have prepared talks on the prevention of hepatitis C, leaflets and booklets. To prevent infection, it is necessary to abandon tattooing, piercing and unjustified cosmetic procedures, and if they are carried out, contact organizations that have the necessary permits to provide appropriate services, whose specialists have been trained in safe working rules. Hepatitis C has been a treatable disease for many years. Taking a course of special antiviral drugs leads to the complete removal of the virus from the human body and recovery from hepatitis C. It is important to remember that the treatment of hepatitis C has many features, so only a doctor should prescribe drugs. A person who has been successfully cured of hepatitis C cannot infect other people. Take care of yourself!

The child's health largely depends on the health and well-being of the mother. During the year, pregnant women recover beautifully at the Sanatorium, and a special training program has been developed for them - "Myths, Riddles and magic of Motherhood", which is implemented jointly with doctors and psychologists of the sanatorium. The training package includes professionally selected lectures on pregnancy, breastfeeding, conversations, films, exercises aimed at relaxation and muscle relaxation, as well as sessions of emotional and imaginative therapy.

During pregnancy, it is extremely important to control its course and intrauterine development of the fetus, not only in order to preserve the health of the mother and baby, but also in order to ensure an effective transition to a safe birth. The health of the child and the expectant mother is affected by the factors of pregnancy and the behavior of a pregnant woman.

The general level of a woman's health also affects the process of childbirth. Anomalies of labor activity are more common against the background of an unfavorable state of health of the mother. With the birth of the baby, care for his health continues. Family is important for every child. It is the family that has the main influence on character, relationships with other people, and attitude to health. Healthy habits, fixed in childhood, are transferred into adulthood and reduce the risks of developing widespread diseases: cardiovascular, oncological, bronchopulmonary, diabetes mellitus. We wish you good health! Take care of yourself!
