Doctors of Vladivostok tell residents and guests of the city how to behave on a hike

A walk like a medicine. “Root of Life” is a new project of the NGO Walking League “Ginseng” supported by tourists and the Ministry of Health of Primorye. He not only opens up new territories of our region to citizens, but also gives competent medical advice.

The first health campaigns were held in July in the Hasan district in the village of Bezverhovo, Posiet and Slavyanka. The team of the Walking League "Ginseng" not only walked along ecological paths, fulfilling the accepted global norm in "10,000 steps a day", but also told about the benefits of walking to the local population. They followed the state of health of the hikers, and gave good medical advice to everyone. It turned out to be in demand. We plan to continue this practice. And already in August, we will arrange additional meetings of Primorye residents with medical workers, nutritionists, exercise therapy specialists and healthy lifestyle specialists, Elena Olenina, chairman of the Ginseng Walking League, shares her plans.

Volunteers who have learned computer literacy at special courses in Vladivostok will also be present on trips to Primorye. They can tell you how to install programs on your mobile phone to help monitor your health. For example, pedometer, pulse, posture control or calorie counting. 

The training of volunteers will continue. We're going from theory to practice. We organize a course on first aid. Participation will be free. Announcements will be posted in our social networks, – continues Olenina.

Mass sports events within the framework of the project “Root of Life” will be held before the end of the year in five districts of Primorsky Krai. Methodological material will be developed and posted on social networks. Full information on trips and meetings within the Root of Life project can be found   VKontakte   and Telegram channel. You can also specify information by calling +7 (914) 704 48 40.
