The Roscongress Foundation’s Healthy Life project will hold an expert discussion ‘Harmonizing an Active Healthy Lifestyle with Nature: Eco-Agenda as Part of Health Protection’ on 1 September as part of the second stage of the ‘Ecosystem. Protected Territory’ Russian Youth Environmental Forum in the Kamchatka Territory. The Forum will be held with the support of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The second stage of the Forum will be organized by the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh) and the Kamchatka Territory Government.
The discussion will be moderated by Oleg Apolikhin, a member of the Commission on Demographics and Protection of the Family, Childhood, and Traditional Family Values of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation.
The main determinants of a healthy lifestyle include balanced nutrition, physical education and sports, and a lack of bad habits. However, establishing a healthy lifestyle culture not only requires changes in certain behavioural patterns in society, but also the creation of a favourable environment of health protection that allows people to adhere to the principles of a healthy lifestyle. The resource conservation policy of the Kamchatka Territory, with its unique climate, clean air, and broad access to eco-friendly products, will create all the conditions needed not only for green thinking, but also for the public demand for a healthy lifestyle, the introduction of innovative health protection technologies and infrastructure, and the creation of a health-centric corporate and social culture. Creating healthy lifestyle values and eco-thinking among young people to ensure their respect for nature, their own health, and the health of others, is one of the priorities of the state youth policy. Not only the health of future young families, but also the health of future generations depends on how successfully the principles and skills of a healthy lifestyle are instilled in the youth environment.
«All of us and each of us is responsible not only for our own health, but for the health of future generations. It’s crucial to understand that the duration and quality of life is largely determined by lifestyle and the attitude towards one’s health and body. It’s a person’s job to take on this responsibility, and it’s the government’s job to organize the most favourable environment and provide maximum support to citizens on their path to a healthy lifestyle and the dissemination of health protection ideas,» Apolikhin said.
Experts will discuss how living conditions, the state of the environment, and changes that impact the environment and nutrition affect the need for healthcare to transition to a preventive model and principles of maintaining public health, how to create an environment that is conducive to health protection, how to enhance the appeal of a healthy lifestyle in the macro-region, particularly among young people, how to protect and sustainably use local eco-structure to create a healthy lifestyle, how to increase green thinking among the younger generation, what indicators determine the rating of a healthy lifestyle in the Far East region, and what systemic measures can improve this rating today.
The session will be broadcast in the Forum’s VKontakte community Ecosystem and the Healthy Life community.
