Penza spoke about five components of health

On Wednesday, supporters of a healthy lifestyle gathered at the House of Officers of Penza. There was a solemn event within the framework of the regional movement “For Healthy Longevity Medicine”.

Thematic areas were opened in the hall. Guests could try local useful products from the companies "Molkom", "Vanyushkin sweets" and others. Specialists of Karagizov District Hospital conducted rapid diagnostics to identify the risks of chronic diseases. The stand of ANO “Science and Education” was of great interest, where they clearly showed what happens to the lungs of smokers.

Health Minister Vyacheslav Kosmachev stressed that longevity depends not only on doctors, but also on the availability of quality products.

The evening program was built around five pillars: nutrition, water, movement, stress resistance and leisure. Chief therapist Elena Matveeva dispelled myths about diets, explaining the principle of “healthy plate”. Coach Alexey Stepin and representative of the Union of pensioners Maria Anashina showed how to maintain water balance and stay active at any age. Breathing practices from Marina Fokina helped guests cope with stress.

The emotional finale was the performance of the Soul of Russia choir. The presenters even measured the pulse of the artists before and after singing, proving the benefits of creativity for the heart.

Irina Pshonik from the Roscongress Foundation noted that the Penza region sets high standards for the whole country. The region creates an environment where health care becomes a natural choice.
