During the meeting, the speakers spoke in details about health issues, our environment, a healthy lifestyle, about the daily routine, abstaining from harmful habits and observing hygiene rules, as well as about the activities carried out by our honorable President in the field of healthcare.
Social networks play a significant role in our lives today. They are not only popular among adults, but also among the children. The excessive use of social networks by children and young people leads to a decrease in their mental and social functions, and their ability to learn and assimilate large amounts of information. Social networks affect mental and physical health of people.
During the meeting they explained about the above-mentioned harms of social networks through various examples from a real life and gave some advice to the students about the proper use of the Internet and social media. They mentioned that the young generation in the country should stay away from harmful habits, that health begins with the family, that family health is equal to the health of the country, and the importance of creating a healthy society.
