The week of promoting a healthy lifestyle among children

From August 26 to September 1, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation in our country announced a week of promoting a healthy lifestyle among children. According to WHO, about 80% of teenagers in Russia are not physically active enough. In recent years, there has been a sharp decline in physical activity in children and adolescents, along with an increase in the number of diseases of obesity and diabetes mellitus among children.

The formation of a healthy lifestyle in the family starts and continues in educational institutions. From a fairly early age, it is worth actively using the principles of health protection so that they become habits. Later, this knowledge and skills will be one of the necessary elements of a person's general culture.

The medical staff of the sanatorium "Krasivo" join the information campaign and prepare lectures, talks, booklets, films on the topic of prevention for vacationers. The liver is a unique organ that daily takes over protection from fatty foods and toxic substances, from alcohol and drugs, performing many vital functions. The problem of viral hepatitis continues to be extremely relevant. Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, as a result of which liver cells are destroyed. The cause of the disease can be infections, alcohol abuse, fatty foods, poisoning, and an improper lifestyle. If the body does not have time to restore the destroyed liver cells, they are replaced by connective tissue. Then the patient has fibrosis. The severe stage of fibrosis, when a significant part of the liver is replaced by connective tissue, is called cirrhosis. In light of the growing prevalence of obesity, we will pay special attention to the issues of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Non—alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic disease associated with insulin resistance and characterized by excessive accumulation of fat in the liver. The disease currently affects between 25% and 30% of adult residents. The main measures to prevent the disease are rational nutrition and sufficient physical activity. Take care of yourself!

From July 01 to 07, a Week is held in the sanatorium "Krasivo" aimed at reducing mortality from external causes

Mortality from external causes is of particular concern to society, since in most cases these causes are avoidable and, moreover, on average, they differ in a relatively low age of death. Doctors of the sanatorium "Krasivo" join the infocampany and give lectures on this topic, distribute booklets and leaflets. The study of mortality from external causes and the identification of ways to reduce it remain one of the urgent medical and social problems. The responsibility for injuries lies both on the individual behavior of people and on the institutions designed to protect their health and life. Accordingly, the prevention of injuries and violence should be aimed at both the formation of rational behavior among the population and the creation of a safer physical and social environment.

A week of awareness about the importance of physical activity is held in the sanatorium "Krasivo"

The modern pace of life forces us to lead a sedentary lifestyle: we sit a lot at work, use transport, an elevator and other benefits of civilization. It is very difficult to force yourself to go to the pool, gym, fitness or just walk after a hard day. As a result, our health suffers from a "sedentary" lifestyle. Physical activity and human health are closely related to each other. Movement contributes not only to an increase in overall tone, but also supports the work of all vital organs and human systems. Physical activity is beneficial to everyone, regardless of age. Both moderate and intense exercise contribute to improving health. The time of moderate physical activity should be at least 45 minutes per day, and to reduce excess body weight, the time should be increased to 60-90 minutes daily. Remember that an active lifestyle allows you to live longer and get sick less. Physical activity is not only prevention, but also an effective medicine that we always have at hand. It has been proven that people who lead an active lifestyle live longer and get sick less. In old age, they are bypassed by many dangerous diseases, such as atherosclerosis, ischemia or hypertension. And the body itself begins to age much later. It is important to remember that health is in our hands. And being healthy should become a natural desire of every person. "Movement is life, and life is movement."
