2022 Programme
Event #17
Adriana Albini
Lifestyle and training for a healthy life
Thanks to research, we are able to defeat diseases before they even occur. Prevention is better than cure, especially regarding cardiovascular risk and cancer. A good lifestyle – not smoking, eating healthy, avoiding excess weight and training regularly – can significantly reduce the risk of serious diseases and their consequences. The war we fight against cancer is extremely costly and is therefore a discriminating factor between social strata and geographical areas. If it were possible to reduce the need for treatment – because we get sick less or discover the disease in time – pharmaceutical expenditure would decrease in favor of preventive expenditure, and the success could be impressive.
