Month of Health
The plant’s personnel joined Kazatomprom’s large-scale annual campaign, ‘In the Rhythm of a Healthy Heart’.
An energetic group warm-up and a brisk walk – this is how one of the working days at UMP was marked. The area in front of UMP administration building was temporarily transformed into a veritable health zone.
Sergey Bezhetskyi, UMP JSC Executive Board Chairman, stepped forward to inspire his colleagues by setting a personal example:
– Of course, after such an energetic warm-up, your heart is really pounding! It immediately brings to mind that famous line: ‘Heart, you never want to rest...’. A very useful and worthwhile initiative. I myself play football with my colleagues every week. A huge thank you to all the participants for their enthusiasm, support and energy! I wish all our plant workers the very best of health!
Aynash Khisambinova, Chief Medical Officer at ‘Intertech’ Clinic, shared her advice:
– Physical activity, a balanced diet and a positive attitude are the key defenders of our cardiovascular system. This is particularly true for office workers: it’s essential to do a short warm-up every two hours. Regular brisk walking works wonders – it can even restore the capillary network in people who have suffered a heart attack.
As well as exercise sessions and group walks, during Health Month the people of Ulba took part in a dynamic step-counting flash mob, which they have decided to continue. A children’s drawing competition was held for employees’ children, where the youngsters used their paints to show what a healthy heart means.
