Today we are going to discuss the problems of the healthy way of life and its advantages. Before speaking on health problems I'd like to tell you some words about the health services in Russia. The public health services in Russia embrace the entire population and are financed by the state budget. The private medical services are steadily expanding and constitute a certain part in medicine in Russia. Unfortunately , because of economic problems in Russia the government can't afford to make medicine a major item in the state budget. The network of polyclinics, hospitals and dispensaries are not funding enough to modernize the equipment (9) and develop the medical knowledge. But in spite of this there are a lot of talented and highly educated doctors who are devoted to their work and people. Main emphasis in Russia is laid on prevention or prophylactics. The saying has it that 'an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure . There are a lot of problems in Russia but nevertheless medicine is advancing further ) and is successfully combatting cancer , the disease that takes a lot of human lives. A lot of diseases are preventable through the healthy way of life. A primary public health goal is to educate the general public about how to prevent a lot of diseases. Public health campaigns teach people about the healthy way of life — the value of avoiding smoking, avoiding foods high in cholesterol and fat , having a certain amount of exercise and maintaining a healthy body weight . Is there anything more important than health? I rather doubt it. If your body suffers from any disorder your mind suffers with the body, too. You can't be good either at work or at studies. Aches and pains lead to irritation, nervous breakdown and stress. So, the advantages of the healthy way of life are obvious . We must remember that laws of the healthy way of life — moderate eating and drinking, regular physical exercises, reasonable hours of work and rest, perfect cleanliness, positive attitude towards people and things around us — lay the foundations for long happy life.
