Healthy living and risk reduction, headline of the "Lifestyle Conference" in Tirana! Reflection on oneself, the community and the environment
In the list of activities of the capital, on September 25, the "Lifestyle Conference" will take place in the premises of the Pyramid of Tirana, with a focus on healthy living and harm reduction. The conference aims to promote a culture of self and community care with panels addressing topics such as: Nutrition, physical activity and harm reduction. Health care, social relationships, technology and mental health are also topics that will be discussed throughout the conference.
In the digital, fast-paced and information-filled age we live in, we often come across the term modern medicine, that of lifestyle, where we are our own 'doctors'. This new conception in this field, in no way guides the individual to self-diagnose or cure without consulting a specialist doctor in case of concerns.
As the name suggests, lifestyle medicine or preventive medicine is a field that focuses on the prevention, harm reduction, research, education, and treatment of diseases or disorders that stem from an unbalanced lifestyle. From a sedentary lifestyle, malnutrition, stress or harmful habits such as the consumption of tobacco, alcohol and drugs.
We find the solution in eliminating harmful habits or substances from everyday life. An early start to the day, accompanied by healthy food, physical activity, free time with friends and quality sleep significantly improves our health.
"Lifestyle Conference", a necessary reflection
The impact of a healthy lifestyle extends beyond the individual, positively impacting the community as well. At a time when mental health is gaining increased attention, the conference is dedicated to the reflection we will have to do with ourselves regarding the essential importance for a sustainable life, mind and community.
'Over-the-counter medicine' is an approach that improves the health of individuals, empowers communities and contributes to environmental protection. Small changes in everyday life, such as healthy food choices, regular physical activity and stress management, can have big, long-term impacts. With more self-love, we can take the first steps towards a healthy and sustainable future for ourselves and others.
Think twice about this!
