A systematic approach to combating obesity is a task of strategic importance

Lyudmila Kovalchuk, Marketing and Sales Director of the Endocrinology department at PROMOMED, spoke at the VI Forum "Strong Ideas for a New Age" (Nizhny Novgorod). During the session "Health culture: from kindergarten to the silver age — an ecosystem of healthy lifestyle for everyone", the expert raised the topic of obesity and called for the elimination of stigmatization of this concept. 

The problem is not limited solely to a lack of willpower and an inability to change a lifestyle. According to the Ministry of Health, about 66 million people in Russia are overweight and obese. The PROMMED speaker emphasized that metabolic disorders can be diagnosed independently at an early stage. To do this, you should rely on one of two indicators — waist size or body mass index (BMI).

Correction of metabolic health is possible only in combination with medical care and lifestyle changes. Modern science offers innovative solutions aimed at normalizing metabolism and developing healthy eating behavior. Velgia®, Velgia® preparations Ivf and Tirzetta® help to reduce weight, reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular and oncological diseases, as well as maintain activity and quality of life.

The mechanism of action of Velgia® and Velgia® Ivf is based on the work with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). The drugs help to reduce appetite and help to naturally reduce the number of calories consumed, forming new eating habits.

The innovative nature of Tirzetta® is that it simultaneously reduces appetite and directly affects the fat cell, normalizing intracellular metabolism. This dual mechanism allows you to achieve a more pronounced effect.  

At the same time, basic principles play a key role in maintaining a healthy weight: a balance between energy intake and expenditure, the quality of nutrition and regular physical activity.

According to Lyudmila Kovalchuk, a systematic approach combining education, early diagnosis and modern therapeutic solutions will significantly reduce the burden of metabolic disorders in the future and even completely defeat a number of related diseases. Prevention is the future of medicine, and it is the prevention of dangerous diseases that most healthcare projects are dedicated to today.
