The Minister of Health warned about chronic diseases without healthy lifestyle

Health Minister Mikhail Murashko said that following the principles of a healthy lifestyle can significantly increase a person's life expectancy. He said this on May 4 in an interview with Sergey Stillavin for the news agency Vesti.

According to the minister, proper habits and health care can add at least 10-15% to a person's life.

"Today, medicine is very actively helping in this," Murashko said.

He stressed that the lack of attention to health leads to the fact that a significant part of the last years of life can be accompanied by chronic diseases and a decrease in the quality of life.

The Minister drew attention to the importance of life goals and aspirations, noting that they help to maintain a person's activity and psychological tone.
