“Have you seen social advertising: ‘Call your parents!’? What feelings and emotions does it evoke in you? We think not only about the conversation itself, the health status, and the comfort of a loved one, but also about what we can do for them. Our children and our parents are a source of both joy and worry. But for children, we pay much more attention—and that’s quite understandable. The older generation is special and, besides everyday conveniences, needs communication and care for health. Loss of memory is equal to loss of personality. You have in your hands one of the tools of real help. Take care of your parents—give them a book to learn, a game-book, a self-help tool. The opportunity to check yourself and your loved ones, a reason to think and take real action, ready recipes, effective exercises—everything in a convenient format as simple and effective medical recommendations written in a living language,” — “Culture of Health,” a non-profit organization that brings together specialists’ expertise in sports, healthy nutrition, prevention, and healthy lifestyles, www.cultureofhealth.ru
