An active lifestyle promotion week is taking place in Russia from January 9th to 19th. Medical staff of the sanatorium "Krasivo" join with a significant information campaign. Informational materials, lectures, talks, flyers and booklets have been prepared for the guests of the sanatorium.

Physical activity is an essential element of maintaining health and a healthy lifestyle.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends ten thousand steps a day to maintain health and good physical fitness.

Currently, there is a large amount of scientific research on the relationship between physical characteristics and changes in the functional state of the cardiovascular system. Insufficient physical activity is one of the main risk factors for developing diseases.

People with low physical activity have a 33% higher risk of early death compared to those who devote enough time to physical activity. In addition, low physical activity increases the risk of developing heart disease. For example, the probability of arterial hypertension increases by 21%. Increasing the level of physical activity in people reduces the risk of depression and is a prevention of aging. Take care of yourself! We wish you good health!

Winter is a time of increased injury. The reason is often ice, early nightfall, 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!!!

As part of the information campaign, conversations are held with vacationers, memos, booklets are distributed, videos on video monitors and films about injury prevention are broadcast. Doctors and nurses disseminate information on relevant topics.

The talks and lectures are aimed at injury prevention. It must be remembered that avoiding injury is much easier than correcting the sad consequences. Injury prevention should become a part of a person's lifestyle. Take care of yourself and your loved ones!

From December 16 to 22, a Week of promoting healthy eating is being held in Russia as part of the National Health Project. Medical workers of the sanatorium "Krasivo" join a significant information campaign. Maintaining a healthy, balanced diet helps to avoid metabolic disorders and associated diseases.

It is important to focus on the inclusion of necessary diet-forming foods (fish 2 times a week, nuts, vegetables and fruits). The problem of the modern world is fast food, fast food.                       

On the one hand, it is simple and convenient, it saves time. But by consuming such food daily, your body is unlikely to say "thank you" to you. And even if you feel good now, this does not mean that your health will be at the same level in the future.

If you decide to adhere to the rules of a healthy diet, you will have to reduce the consumption of the following as much as possible:

all kinds of sweets (bakery and confectionery products, cookies and chocolate bars, ice cream);

smoked products, canned food;

fatty, spicy, salty, fried food;

chips, salted nuts, crackers;

semi-finished products (flakes, balls);

carbonated water and industrial juices.

Good health is an effective result of working on yourself and your food preferences. This requires willpower, self-discipline, and loyalty to your principles. And then your body will reward you with wonderful well-being and longevity. We wish you good health!

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. According to WHO, human health is determined by 50% lifestyle, 20% habitat and 10% depends on the health system. WHO defines responsible health as the ability of individuals, families and communities to promote health. 

                 What does a responsible attitude to health include?:

1. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle;

2. Monitoring your own health;

3. Responsible use of products for self-care of health, proper storage and use of medicines.

Today, people have much more opportunities to prevent the development of serious complications. And the first thing to start with is the correction of modifiable risk factors. These include control of blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels, abstinence from alcohol and smoking, and adherence to a healthy lifestyle. 

The most important rule is to consult a doctor for any complaints, whether it is seasonal acute respiratory viral infections or exacerbation of chronic diseases. But the responsibility lies precisely in the fact that the patient should take care of his health no less than the doctor, because this is primarily in his interests. Regularly undergo preventive medical examinations or medical examinations: they will allow you to identify diseases when there are no symptoms yet. Take care of yourself!

Tobacco addiction is one of the most common deadly habits of mankind! As part of the National Healthcare Project, a week of prevention of nicotine-containing products is being held in Russia from December 2 to December 8, 2024.

Nicotine is a toxic alkaloid. Once in the human body, it affects certain areas of the brain. The receptors located on the bodies of dopamine neurons have the highest sensitivity to it. When interacting, nicotine provokes the release of dopamine, thereby forming a human reflex of getting pleasure after smoking. And at the same time, the so-called "withdrawal syndrome" or "withdrawal reaction". This is a condition after smoking, when headache, weakness, lower blood pressure, increased anxiety and irritability, problems with concentration, etc. may appear. In an effort to get rid of such a reaction of the body, smokers resume tobacco consumption. This is how addiction is formed.

The World Health Organization states that 10% of smokers suffer from cancer caused by tobacco. In 90% of cases, smoking causes lung cancer. At the same time, if someone thinks that e-cigarettes are less harmful than conventional ones, they are deeply mistaken. There are no nicotine–containing devices that could be consumed without danger to health.

Smoking is the worst experiment on yourself.  And the best thing a person can do for their health is not to start smoking at all. Take care of yourself!

HIV infection is a disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus. HIV affects the human immune system, eventually depriving it of the ability to resist other diseases and infections.

AIDS is the last stage of the development of HIV infection, when the body's immune system exhausts its resources and ceases to resist opportunistic foreign agents.  The virus is transmitted from one person to another in only three ways: The sexual pathway. Through the blood. Infection of a child from an HIV-infected mother. There are no other ways to transmit HIV infection. Today, HIV infection is not a verdict, because timely initiation of treatment, refusal to use drugs, allows you to transfer the disease to the category of a chronic controlled disease.

It is necessary to know and remember what will help to avoid HIV infection: protected sexual contact; mutual fidelity of partners to each other. Despite ongoing global efforts to overcome HIV/However, the number of new infections remains very high. 

The only way to fight AIDS is to prevent and maintain your body. It is necessary to know exactly your HIV status so that, if the virus is detected in the body, you can start treatment on time without leading to fatal consequences. Take care of yourself!

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!
