Vinamilk launches a series of 'healthy living, youthful living' days aimed at the elderly nationwide

The Covid-19 pandemic over the past two years has had many negative impacts on the physical and mental health of the elderly. With many regulations on quarantine, the elderly are confined to their homes with limited social connections, they are not allowed to perform daily activities such as exercise, physical training, and meetings and interactions with peers.

The elderly were excited to attend the "Live healthy, live youthful" festival organized by Vinamilk.

With the desire to take care of the elderly both physically and mentally, Vinamilk has launched the "Live healthy, live youthful" festival series with the first two programs in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City taking place on May 27 and June 5, including many meaningful and practical activities for the elderly community in the two cities. This is also an activity in response to the 81st anniversary of the traditional day of the elderly in Vietnam (June 6, 1941 - June 6, 2022).

The spirit of “Live healthy, live youthfully” was impressively demonstrated through dance performances and health care programs by the elderly in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

With the support of the brands Sure Prevent Gold, Kenko Haru, and Sure Diecerna, this is a continuation of the journey of healthcare for 1 million elderly people nationwide that Vinamilk has carried out in recent years. As of 2021, this program has reached more than 500,000 elderly people nationwide.

Within the framework of the program, the elderly in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City had many beautiful and elaborate performances of art and health care. This has proven the vitality and resilience of the elderly if properly cared for, not only contributing to spreading the positive message of "Live healthy, live youthfully" to the elderly but also helping the younger generations see examples of optimism and enthusiasm in life from the elderly, the grandparents in their family.

Vinamilk's team of doctors and consultants conducted a general health check-up of the elderly.

Ms. Phan Thi Ha, currently living in Ho Chi Minh City, excitedly said: "It has been a long time since my senior friends and I have been able to attend such a dynamic and fun exchange program. During the recent pandemic, my children were afraid that I would not be well and did not let me go anywhere with many people. Today, not only did I get to meet everyone again, but I also received health check-ups and consultations from Vinamilk doctors. The results were all good. Seeing this, my children and grandchildren at home must be relieved."

Osteoporosis measurement and geriatric health consultation are always focused on and most in demand by the elderly.

In the program, to help the elderly monitor their general health, Vinamilk organized bone density measurements for all elderly participants. In addition, a team of endocrinologists, geriatricians, nutritionists, etc. of Vinamilk An Khang Clinic supported health examinations and consultations, sharing methods to help prevent and treat common diseases in the elderly such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, etc. These practical activities were highly appreciated and enthusiastically responded to by the elderly.

Vinamilk representative presented flowers to the representative of the capital's elderly, showing commitment to accompanying the health care of the elderly in the capital and the whole country.

Ms. Tran Thi Kim, Head of the Representative Board of the Elderly Association of District 12, Ho Chi Minh City said“The elderly need to be taken care of physically and mentally, which means having fun with family, exercising, and meeting with friends to help them maintain their health, optimism, and joy in daily life. The Elderly Association highly appreciates Vinamilk's enthusiastic support of the elderly over the years to bring them fun and useful festivals like this. Through these occasions, the elderly can meet friends of the same age, have their health checked, have their bone density measured, and also receive nutritional advice to take care of their health in the most scientific and appropriate way.”

In addition to direct health examination and consultation activities for the elderly, Vinamilk, in collaboration with doctors from prestigious hospitals across the country, presented health topics of interest to the elderly, along with practical nutritional solutions to improve the immune system.

The elderly have contributed a lot to building and developing the country. They are also grandparents and parents of each of us. As a leading nutrition company always associated with the physical development of Vietnamese people, Vinamilk always has special affection and attention for the elderly nationwide. In addition to health care activities for the elderly, Vinamilk also continuously researches and develops quality nutritional products such as Sure Prevent Gold, Kenko Haru to help the elderly improve their immune system, improve their health to live happily and healthily with their children and grandchildren, and participate in many activities with friends of the same age.
