Health is the most precious asset that must be protected with correct behavior and periodic checks. With this spirit Assilt launches the second edition of “Do the right thing, take care of you”, the preventive medicine program aimed at members. After the success of the first appointment, the 2025 edition focuses on the world of the brain and the prevention of ischemic stroke, one of the main causes of disability and mortality in Italy.
The initiative “Don’t go haywire, just a test!”
Aimed at the main members between 40 and 70 years of age, the new campaign includes health services with 100% refund in the period September-December 2025:
- Eco -coloroppler of superior trunks for a maximum of spending of 120 euros
- Cardiological visit + electrocardiogram for a maximum of spending of 120 euros
A simple but effective path to identify early risk factors and adopt timely measures.
Stroke prevention: what to keep under control
- Arterial hypertension: it is the main risk factor for ischemic stroke
- Values above 140/90 mmhg must be monitored and treated
- Diabetes: High levels of blood sugar damage the vases and increase the risk of thrombosis
- High cholesterol: the accumulation of fats in the arteries can favor the formation of plates and clots
- Smoking: tobacco directly damages blood vessels and promotes platelet aggregation
- Sedentary lifestyle and overweight: they worsen the metabolic and cardiovascular profile
- Atrial fibrillation: a form of cardiac arrhythmia that can encourage the formation of thrombi.
The good rules
- Check the blood pressure at least once a month
- Monitor blood sugar and cholesterol with periodic exams
- A balanced diet
- 30 minutes a day of supported walking
- Avoid smoking and limit alcohol
- Adhere to the cardiovascular screening periodically proposed by Assilt and/or by the doctor.
