Kalujan urged to take care of their lungs

Respiratory diseases are one of the leading causes of death in the world.

Today is World Lung Day, which aims to draw attention to the health of the respiratory system. The initiator of the festival was the Forum of International Respiratory Societies to raise global awareness of respiratory health and promote measures for their prevention and treatment.

On this day, free medical examinations, educational lectures, information campaigns and sports events are held around the world. In Russia, this date is often timed to the Week of preservation of lung health.

To maintain health in this area, it is worth giving up smoking and vaping, getting flu shots annually, wearing a mask in public places during epidemics and regularly doing fluorography and spirometry. An important component is also ventilation, wet cleaning, physical activity and proper nutrition.

As reported earlier, residents of Vorotynsk and Babynin will take 10,000 steps to a better life.
