Thematic lectures on the topic “Prevention for Better Health”
In December 2024, three thematic lectures on the topic “Prevention for Better Health” were successfully held, as part of the project “Her Voice – Her Power: Empowering Marginalized Women and Girls in Pelagonija”, in order to raise awareness among the local population about the importance of health prevention and the promotion of healthy lifestyle habits.
The lectures were aimed at various aspects of health, including the prevention of chronic diseases, the importance of healthy nutrition and physical activity, as well as the importance of mental health. The lectures were held directly in the communities in the municipalities of Prilep, Krivogaštani and Dolneni. At least 90 citizens of different ages and social groups were covered by the activities aimed at educating the local population about preventive measures that can contribute to improving health, promoting healthy lifestyle habits that include proper nutrition, regular physical activity and stress management.
The lecture focused on the prevention of the most common chronic diseases. The attendees were informed about the importance of regular health check-ups (screening), as well as the proper management of risk factors such as smoking and unhealthy diet. The importance of proper nutrition and regular physical activity for disease prevention was emphasized. The basics of healthy nutrition were explained, as well as the importance of physical activity for maintaining health. Particular attention was paid to mental health and stress management techniques.
Due to the increasing attention to health topics, the lecture was extremely well received by the participants. The participants showed active interest in preventive measures and requested additional information on healthy habits.
The lectures on health prevention conducted in December were successfully implemented and showed a high level of engagement by the local population. These activities not only increased awareness of the importance of health prevention, but also motivated the participants to take concrete steps to improve their health.
