The week from November 18 to 24, 2024, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation declared Antimicrobial Resistance Week (in honor of the World Week of Proper Use of Antimicrobial Drugs).  The resistance or resistance of microorganisms to antibiotics is a serious and complex problem affecting every person. Antibiotics and other antimicrobial drugs, when taken without control, become less effective against infections.

               How can antibiotic resistance be prevented:

• give up self-medication;

• Carefully follow the antimicrobial treatment regimen prescribed by your doctor;

• do not replace the drug with another one without consulting a specialist;

• do not take antibiotics "for prevention".

To prevent infection, wash your hands regularly, observe hygiene during cooking, avoid close contact with patients, and get vaccinated against serious diseases. Remember that only a doctor should prescribe antibacterial drugs. Irrational administration and use of antimicrobial drugs leads to bacterial resistance and, if a disease occurs, the antibiotic that was prescribed irrationally may not have a therapeutic effect. Take care of yourself and be healthy!

  Every year, on the third Thursday of November, at the initiative of the International Society of Oncologists and with the support of the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Day of Smoking Cessation is celebrated. In 2024, the event will be held on November 21. The medical staff of the sanatorium "Krasivo" join the information campaign and have prepared lectures, talks, leaflets and videos on a significant topic.

   The purpose of the International Day of Smoking Cessation is to contribute to reducing the prevalence of tobacco dependence, involving all segments of the population in the fight against smoking, preventing tobacco smoking and informing 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 arisen 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 cigarettes with electronic filling, have become widespread. Smoking electronic devices is promoted as a safe alternative to conventional cigarettes. However, e-cigarettes are also unsafe.

   It should be noted that with good awareness of the dangers of smoking for health, 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 urge residents and guests of the Donetsk city district to take advantage of this information and think about their health and the health of their loved ones!

    November 14 is World Diabetes Day, which was introduced in 1991 by the International Diabetes Federation and the World Health Organization in response to the threat of increasing diabetes worldwide. November 14th was chosen in order to perpetuate the merits of the doctor - F. Bunting. The urgency of the problem is due to the scale of the spread of diabetes mellitus. The medical staff of the sanatorium "Krasivo" join the information campaign and hold talks, seminars, lectures, distribute posters, flyers, booklets on a significant topic.

    The goal of World Diabetes Day is to raise awareness about diabetes — not only about the number of people with diabetes, but also about how to prevent the development of this disease in many cases.

In order to keep the disease under control and live a full life, it is necessary to follow the rules.

From November 4 to 10, 2024, Russia is hosting a Week of Maintaining Mental Comfort (in honor of the International Stress Awareness Week). The main offender of mental comfort is stress (translated from English as "pressure", "tension"). Stress can be positive and negative, acute and chronic.  Severe negative acute and chronic stress often leads to adverse consequences. 

It is almost impossible to avoid stress, since a person, when faced with various situations at home and at work, reacts emotionally to these events. The intensity of the labor process differs among people of different professions.  To minimize the negative effects of stress, stick to such attitudes:

1. Try to lead a measured life. Plan your working day in advance. 

2. Get enough sleep! An adult needs 7-8 hours of sleep on average.

3. Do not eat "on the run": breakfast, lunch and dinner should be a rest time. 

4. Do not try to relieve stress with tobacco or alcohol. 

5. Physical activity will help to relieve emotional stress. 

6. Take some time every day to relax and read. Draw, make music if you play an instrument, sing, sew, embroider.

7. Find time to distract yourself, switch to activities that cause you positive emotions: going to a museum, cinema and nature walks.

8. There is no way to change the circumstances of life — change your attitude towards them. Carefully analyze your experiences.                           9. Focus on the positive: the circumstances of your life are often better than you think. Just take an objective look at yourself.

10. Watch your mood as well as your appearance. A friendly facial expression and smile will improve your mood and health. 

Believe in yourself!

From October 21 to 27, 2024, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation announced a Week to promote the consumption of vegetables and fruits within the framework of the All-Russian project "Healthy Generation". The medical staff of the sanatorium "Krasivo" join the infocampany – hold conversations on a significant topic. 

Vegetables and fruits occupy a fairly important place in the diet, they are a valuable source of vitamins, carbohydrates, organic acids and minerals. The benefits of fruits and vegetables are undeniable, so they should be the basis of the human diet to ensure the normal functioning of the body. According to the latest WHO recommendations, it is necessary to consume at least 400 grams of vegetables and fruits per day.

According to statistics, 80% of Russians consume insufficient amounts of fresh vegetables. 59% of respondents do not monitor their consumption of vegetables and eat them much less often than recommended by the Ministry of Health. Support your health by adding vegetables and fruits to your diet!

Breast Cancer Week is being held in Russia from October 14 to 20, 2024 (in honor of Breast Cancer Month). Breast cancer (breast cancer) is one of the most common oncological diseases not only in Russia, but also around the world. Breast cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells in breast tissues begin to divide uncontrollably and form a tumor. The earliest form (the so–called "cancer in situ") is not life-threatening. But tumor cells can spread to adjacent breast tissues (invasion). As the tumor continues to grow, a bulky formation or thickening occurs. Invasive cancer can spread to nearby lymph nodes or other organs (metastasize). Metastasis can be fatal. Certain forms of breast tumors (and there are more than 30 types) can occur in half of the female population (i.e., every second woman over 30 years old). Fortunately, the vast majority are benign and do not threaten health. Breast cancer prevention should be mandatory for all women. These are maintaining a healthy lifestyle, proper and balanced nutrition, prevention of stress and conflict situations, giving up bad habits, observing the daily routine, preventive examinations and medical examinations. Take care of yourself and your loved ones! Be healthy!
