Healthy Lifestyle
Promotion of healthy lifestyle is one of IFH’s priorities.
It is no secret that people, especially in Russia, are concerned about their health only after they are diagnosed with a serious disease. But this can be easily prevented through health protection. Healthy lifestyle promotion is one way to improve the population’s health and quality of life.
Today, the problems of smoking, alcohol abuse, unhealthy diet and lack of physical activity have become more challenging than ever before. Our health promotion and behavior change communication work increases knowledge, sparks motivation for adopting healthier behaviors and, as a result, empowers individuals to take better care of themselves and their families.
In the framework of “Healthy Lifestyle” social program, IFH efficiently addresses the following issues:
· Prevention of socially significant diseases
· Promotion of healthy lifestyle
· Combating alcohol and tobacco dependence
· Prevention of sexually transmitted infections
· Preventive programs at the workplace
IFH preventive programs are effective, sustainable and successful. They are aimed at the population’s health improvement and advocacy of human rights and interests.
