The Specialized Health Unit of the Universidad Industrial de Santander, UISALUD, held today a prevention day aimed at all its users, with the objective of promoting self-care, healthy lifestyle habits and proper follow-up of medical treatments in people diagnosed with hypertension.
During the activity, educational talks and specialized guidance were offered, while reminding the importance of using the services provided by the unit such as the Fitness Center located in the Wellness PRO building, nutrition consultations and the ‘whole heart’ cardiovascular risk program, available to users.
“Today we are reaching out to our users to highlight the importance of high blood pressure prevention. We want to motivate those who have already been diagnosed to properly follow their treatments, adopt healthy lifestyle habits, exercise, eat properly and give up smoking. And for those who do not suffer from it, to avoid its appearance,” said Silvia Rodriguez, the professional in charge of the cardiovascular risk program.
Users rated the day positively. “Very good, excellent. It should be done frequently because that way you learn to take care of yourself and know the risks you have when you are hypertensive, and which foods to eat and which not to eat,” said Inés María López Herrera, a participant in the event.
With these actions, UISALUD reaffirms its commitment to the promotion of cardiovascular health and the prevention of chronic diseases, consolidating learning spaces and support for the entire community.
