On July 5-6, for the first time in Astana, the National Forum on Healthy Future "Capital Health" took place, marking a significant step towards improving the quality of life and well-being of citizens. In Kazakhstan, one in ten people suffers from obesity, and childhood obesity rates are nearing those of the United States. According to research by the Kazakh Academy of Nutrition, 50% of adults and 15% of children in the country are overweight, with low physical activity being the primary cause. Health is determined by 52% from an active lifestyle and only 42% from medical care.
Thus, the forum served as a platform for discussing strategies and initiatives to support sports and healthy lifestyles, create sports infrastructures in cities, develop corporate sports, and promote a healthy generation. The event gathered leading specialists and public figures, including Vice-Minister of Tourism and Sports Serik Zharasbayev, head of the Directorate for the Preparation and Conduct of the 5th World Nomad Games Nail Nurov, renowned cardiothoracic surgeon and Chairman of the Board of the corporate fund "University Medical Center" Yuriy Vladimirovich Pya, kazakh strongman and Guinness World Record holder Sergey Tsyurulnikov, as well as many other recognized experts in the sports and health industry.
Particular attention was paid to issues related to the state's health priorities, the role of corporate culture in shaping a healthy society, and the accessibility of healthy lifestyles for every individual.
One of the event's informational partners was the city brand "Visit Astana," which serves as a platform for exploring the city and provides information for residents and visitors of the Capital. It offers valuable insights into tourist attractions, exquisite restaurants, and cultural events. Visit Astana not only helps participants and guests of the forum navigate the Capital but also inspires exploration of the city's diversity and hospitality.
