Lifestyle, that is, how we live every day, has a huge impact on the way we look and how we feel. It is no secret that well-being depends not only on how we look, but also on how we sleep, how we eat and how we are able to cope with stress. Lifestyle Medicine is based on five fundamental areas thanks to which you achieve optimal health for your age and lifestyle.


A permanent change in lifestyle requires constant cooperation with your doctor. During the first visit, the doctor will conduct a detailed interview with you and discuss a plan for change, which you will follow. Research shows that to have the longest lasting effects (eg, to adapt to new eating habits and learn to exercise regularly), we need at least six months. During this time you will meet regularly with your doctor, who will analyse and modify your progress. Part of our lifestyle changes is also suitable education and behavioral support.

Body weight

Food is one of the main human needs. The quality and amount of food products we consume has a significant impact on our body. Nutrition affects our appearance, our health and our well-being. To be able to fully enjoy good health, you should provide your body with many different ingredients. They are necessary to gain vital energy, and to build and repair body cells. Food also fulfills another function: it should give us pleasure.  
In our culture many erroneous habits have taken root, which have a negative effect on our health. If you want to achieve your dream figure and enjoy good health for longer - you need to eat properly.
Get rid of bad habits, attain your goals and prevent disease through proper diet!

 

Physical activities

The beneficial effect of physical activity on health and well being today doesn't raise any doubts. Research conducted over twenty-five years, provides evidence that regular physical exercise is one of the most important factors in improving health. Walking, swimming, cycling and tennis still give way to watching television or playing computer games. Inactivity has

similarly harmful effects on health as smoking or high cholesterol. A daily serving of movement allows you to not only maintain a healthier appearance, but it prevents the development of lifestyle diseases (such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer). You can practice anywhere - even at home or work.
Ask your doctor how lifestyle medicine immediately improves your body's performance.

 

Healthly sleep

During sleep, cell renewal occurs, regeneration of the system controlling metabolism is accelerated and blood flows to the muscles, and enhances the production of hormones such as growth hormone, for example. A man will sleep about 20 years in the course of his lifetime, but really how much sleep we need is an individual matter. Sleep problems can affect falling asleep and the amount of quality sleep. Separate issues are also snoring and sleep apnea syndrome.  Research on sleep disorders has confirmed that people suffering from insomnia release more stress hormones. Sleep problems are the cause of a weakened immune system, which results in an increased risk of disease. Lack of adequate quantity and quality of sleep causes fatigue, bad mood, a chronic state of increased anxiety, difficulty concentrating, memory problems, headaches and irritability.

If you have trouble with falling asleep, sleeping too little or the quality of your sleep is poor, you should always consult with your doctor.

Chronic stress

Civilisation is growing at a very fast pace, with the development of technology, the rapid pace of family life, being social in different ways and without taking a break to interact with the biological and psychological state of man. This pace means that we livie in constant stress, which can lead to the total collapse of a physical or mental state, if the time is not taken to take strong measures. Stress is a major problem of today's industrialised societies. Stress is responsible for many diseases and is a cause of deep pain and tragedy in life. Chronic stress makes you look worse, and worsens our relationship with the environment. There is a growing risk of heart disease and mental disorders. And an increased risk of illness - from trivial colds to cancer.

If you suffer from chronic stress – or worse, you already feel the negative effects  visit our specialists.

Sexual health

Sexual health is one of the foundations of well-being and successful relationships. Unfortunately, it often is wrongly understood as a result of the myths and the data presented in the media or in glossy magazines.

Sexuality - especially for young people - is still taboo. Young people often do not have in their environment a person who is able to honestly answer their questions.

Stop smoking!

Smoking a cigarette is the most common - and most possible to eliminate - cause of most respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Each cigarette smoked by you, or in your presence, shortens your life and deteriorates your health. Smoking has long since ceased to be fashionable. Smoking makes your skin age faster, clogs arteries with plaque and makes it harder to oxygenate the brain. The risk of cancer in smokers is many times higher than in non-smoking peers.

People who smoke usually look much older and in worse condition than their non-smoking peers. In addition, smokers are surrounded by a cloud of odour. Today you do not need to convince anyone that it is nasty and extremely harmful habit. If you smoke cigarettes, as soon as you can, say goodbye to the habit.

Every day counts. Our experts will help you with this.
