Health Promotion and Disease Prevention sessions held by the Ukrainian Red Cross in the Vinnytsia region

As part of the Ukrainian Red Cross Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Programme, health consultants conducted an information session titled “Healthy Lifestyle and Physical Activity.” Participants learned about the impact of physical activity on health, key health factors, the components of a healthy lifestyle, different types of physical activity, and how to measure blood pressure correctly.

In addition, a practical session on Nordic walking was held. Participants learned how to measure blood pressure before and after physical activity, how to warm up properly, and explored Nordic walking as a full-body exercise suitable for outdoor activity.

An active lifestyle plays an important role in maintaining good health. Activities in the Vinnytsia region are carried out with the support of the Danish Red Cross.
