From the author: Despite the fact that the statistical data is given for our city, in my opinion, this information will be relevant for everyone. This is about the time in which we live..."Happiness is before toothache."Unfortunately, we begin to feel the value of health when certain problems appear. As one 31-year-old girl told me, “Is health really wealth? I never thought about it...” It was a small preamble. I actually wanted to write about the conference. On health conservation. I recently conducted a seminar for parents in one of the schools in our city as part of a conference on health conservation. It was very pleasant to hear the words of the head of the school: “Today the best specialists of the city have been invited to you.” The meeting was attended by the chief narcologist, traumatologist, surgeon, ENT specialist of the city, the best gynecologists, cardiologists. Summary of the main thing that was voiced at the plenary session: • Every 30th person in our city is HIV-infected • Recommended duration of sleep: grades 1-5 - 10 hours, grades 5-8 - 9 hours, grades 10-11 - 8 hours. • Necessary make it fashionable to get involved in sports.• Recommended duration of walks: 1-5 classes - 3 hours 30 minutes, 5-8 classes-3 hours, 9-11 classes-2 hours• Disadvantages of the schoolchildren's regime: excessive time spent watching television, low duration of night sleep, insufficient stay in the fresh air, the predominance of passive activities in the recreation structure, low physical activity.• 85% of the children in our city are born sick (genetic predisposition to diseases), only 10-15% are healthy.• In the 30s there was not even such a disease as “cervical osteochondrosis”, now every second schoolchild has this diagnosis.• “The future depends on us: if the father knows how to drink well, then the son will be an alcoholic, and the grandson will be a degenerate.”• “Health is something that can be easily lost.”• That Those who consider physical education a secondary subject are mistaken. • “Health is fulfilling the responsibilities that life imposes.” We all need to understand the value of health!
