Lung cancer is one of the most common and dangerous cancers, which kills millions of people worldwide every year. The main cause of the development of this disease is smoking, but do not forget about other risk factors such as air pollution, heredity and exposure to harmful substances. Lung Cancer Prevention Week is held to raise awareness about the disease, its early detection and the need for prevention. The doctors of the sanatorium "Krasivo" are joining the infocampany.
Lung cancer risk factors can be divided into two categories – internal and external. The first includes a hereditary history: if one of the relatives had cancer, then this person has an increased risk of developing this disease.
All other factors are external. This is work related to harmful chemical and diesel fumes, asbestos, arsenic, etc. Work in rooms with high dust content, with an increased amount of radon.
Recommendation to patients: be attentive to their health, follow the doctor's recommendations, and do not ignore the annual medical check-up. Take care of yourself!

The medical staff of the Krasivo sanatorium join the information campaign and hold talks 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.

Breast Cancer Week will be held in Russia from October 13 to 19, 2025 (in honor of Breast Cancer Month). Breast cancer (BC) 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 tissue begin to divide uncontrollably and form a tumor. The earliest form (the so–called "cancer in situ") is not life-threatening. However, tumor cells can spread to adjacent breast tissue (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.
One form or another of breast tumors (and there are more than 30 types) can occur in half of the female population (i.e., in every second woman over 30 years old). Fortunately, the vast majority are benign and do not endanger health.
Breast cancer prevention should be mandatory for all women. These include leading a healthy lifestyle, proper and balanced nutrition, preventing 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!
Mental Health Week is taking place from October 6 to October 12 (in honor of World Mental Health Day on October 10). Medical staff of the sanatorium "Krasivo" join the action.
Mental health is an important component of human health. The human body is largely under the control of the nervous system, so the mental state affects the work of each of the functional systems. Mental health is the foundation of human well-being and effective functioning of society. Basic rules for maintaining a healthy body and mind:
• Sports and proper nutrition. A balanced diet and moderate physical activity are the key to strong blood vessels, a nervous system and a strong immune system.
• Deep sleep for at least 7-8 hours. Sleep promotes rapid recovery of the body, and consequently, greater resistance to stressful situations.

Take care of yourself and your mental health, because it depends only on you!
From September 29 to October 5, 2025, there will be a Week of Responsible Attitude to the Heart (in honor of World Heart Day on September 29). The heart is the most important organ of our body. A person's health and life expectancy directly depend on the state of the cardiovascular system. It is necessary to protect the heart from a young age. It is necessary to maintain moderate physical activity for at least 150 minutes per week, eat well, and monitor blood pressure, heart rhythm, and lipid profile.
To prevent cardiovascular diseases, it is necessary to take a rational approach to your lifestyle.:
• It is important to maintain a high level of physical activity;
• follow the right daily routine and nutrition;
• do not overuse fatty, fried, heavy foods, especially at night;
• maintain a healthy body weight, get rid of bad habits.
Lack of sleep has an extremely negative effect on the health of the cardiovascular system. The heart is a muscle, and it needs training. Due to dynamic loads, vascular tone and heart rate are regulated, and the heart becomes stronger and more resilient.
Regular consumption of alcoholic beverages leads to disruption of the heart muscle. Nicotine changes the condition of the vascular wall. Heart health is in your hands. Try to help him every day, and he will be grateful to you.
The week from September 22 to 28, 2025, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation declared Awareness Week on the importance of medical examinations and professional examinations. WHO defines a responsible attitude to health as the ability of individuals, families, and communities to promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and manage illness and disability with the support of a medical institution or independently.

The week from September 15th to 21st has been declared the Week of Patient Safety and Popularization of Health Centers (in connection with the World Patient Safety Day celebrated on September 17th). Medical workers of the sanatorium "Krasivo" join a significant action.
Patient safety is a key aspect of quality medical care. Any form and type of medical care provision carries potential risks for patients. The active position of the patient himself plays an important role in ensuring his own safety when receiving medical care. Timely consultation, providing complete and accurate information about your health, and not being afraid to ask your doctor any questions about your diagnosis, treatment plan, and possible risks all contribute to improving the quality of medical care. It should be remembered that leading a healthy lifestyle significantly improves health and increases the chances of recovery.
Health centers are actively involved in promoting a healthy lifestyle among the population, raising awareness of citizens about methods of maintaining and promoting health, forming a healthy lifestyle, fostering respect for health and quality of life, contributing to the development of motivation to give up bad habits such as smoking and alcohol consumption, as well as minimizing the impact of other risk factors for non-communicable diseases..
The week from September 8 to September 14, 2025, the Russian Ministry of Health declared Alcohol Consumption Reduction Week and Related Mortality and Morbidity (in honor of Sobriety Day on September 11). The staff of the sanatorium "Krasivo" join the action.
"Everyone stops drinking alcohol, but someone manages to do it during their lifetime..."
It's a bitter but true quote that makes you think. Alcohol consumption is ALWAYS A RISK!
Is there a safe dose of alcohol? No!
Any amount of alcohol carries risks. The most effective way to avoid alcohol problems is a healthy lifestyle.:
- Proper nutrition and regular physical activity.
- Adherence to the daily routine and a positive emotional attitude.
- Having hobbies and interests.
The first step to freedom is awareness of the problem and the desire for change. Remember: Choosing a sober lifestyle is the most reliable way to preserve and strengthen your health, joy and well–being!
From September 1-7, 2025, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation in our country announced a week for promoting a healthy lifestyle among children. The staff of the sanatorium "Krasivo" join the action. In recent years, there has been a sharp decline in physical activity among children and adolescents, along with an increase in the number of diseases of obesity and diabetes among children.
The time spent playing with gadgets and the high workload during the school year contribute to physical inactivity, decreased concentration, impaired psycho-emotional state and the development of osteochondrosis. There is a solution! The elements of the game in introducing healthy lifestyle will come to the rescue of every parent! Joint family and healthy leisure activities will form the right ideas and guidelines for children and adolescents to promote health and harmonious development.
It is necessary to foster a careful attitude to health and introduce a healthy lifestyle culture from childhood. Children are interested in their parents' hobbies and are willing to adopt the habits of close adults, so a personal example is better than any morality. Walking in the fresh air away from noisy and polluted streets is a daily need for a healthy child. And sports training will help in the formation of a muscular corset and good posture, strengthen bones and joints, cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Remember: the health of the younger generation is the future health of the whole country! Take care of yourself and your loved ones!
