The week of responsible attitude to health

A Week of responsible attitude to health is being held in Russia from December 15 to December 21. Responsible attitude to health, on which the quality and duration of human life depend, is perhaps the most important component of healthcare in general. 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 controlling blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels, abstaining from alcohol and smoking, and adhering to a healthy lifestyle. 

The most important rule is to consult a doctor for any complaints, whether it's 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!
