At the end of September 2015, world leaders during a special UN summit adopted a new strategy for global development. It was called Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" and included 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 smaller targets.

The Agenda has become a vital commitment of all UN member states to achieve sustainable development by 2030. For the first time in a world’s history, the adoption of the 2030 Agenda served as a landmark achievement, providing for a shared global vision towards sustainable development for all.

Sustainability in health

One of the SDGs is devoted specifically to health issues: thus the “Goal 3” seeks to ensure health and well-being for all, at every stage of life. This goal addresses all major health priorities, including universal health coverage and access for all to safe, effective, quality and affordable medicines. It also calls for more research and development, increased health financing, and strengthened capacity of all countries in health risk reduction and management.

The reasons for urgency are more than clear: over three quarters of premature deaths in the world are presently caused by cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and chronic 

respiratory disease. Global efforts made some success, however: premature mortality from those four main categories of non communicable disease declined by 15 per cent between 2000 and 2012. Another effort, i.e. reducing tobacco use is going to be critical for meeting the proposed target of reducing premature mortality by one third. In 2015, over 1.1 billion people consumed tobacco, with far more male (945 million) than female (180 million) smokers.

Therefore, sub-goal (3.4 in SDG-3) envisages “… promote mental health and well-being by 2030”. See the following sources:

Definitely most important for humanity is to develop adequate lifestyle-types leading to physical and mental health. Some good practical steps could be done already now…  

Lifestyle changes to strengthen physical & mental health

Danish “integrative health engineer” as he calls himself (with several degrees, like Master of Science, IPMA, MBPI and MBBEA), Misha Sakharoff, also educator and public speaker makes some practical moves. As he puts in his blog: “My core competency lies in the combination of physiological knowledge regarding stress mechanisms and their close relationship with respiration, muscular tension and body balance”.

He has established so-called “Sakharoff’s Resilience & Health Recovery Program”, which is based on modern physiology being positively proven both in combating disease and promoting enhanced performance in daily life, the areas of sport, performing arts and business activity.

The course is specifically tailored, says Misha’s website, for those wanted “to take responsibility for one’s own health, instead of relying on medications”. The course is a “path to longevity and joy of life”, it said; the course is delivered in English, Danish and Russian.

Course in action: health for all

The course is structured in a way that anyone can accumulate practical knowledge about personal health in the simplest way. And the most important information always comes first!

There are numerous courses’ duration: from 3-4 weeks to the whole year, i.e. 50 weeks! I personally tried the 3-weeks course and my experience shows it has been very positive…

For example, the first week is devoted to “creating a proper connection” between movement and breathing: “movements” is everything, i.e. from any daily physical activities to a walk in the forest, to jogging to physical exercises to sport, etc.

During the first week patients/clients are training/working to establish a “proper relationship” between movement and breathing.

By “movement”, all types of daily physical activity are meant: from walks in the park or forest, to jogging, to physical exercise, to sport, etc.

In the beginning of every week comes a video package containing visual examples of week’s work, e.g. daily respiration, physiology, way of training, etc.   

It is vital for people to see (as it has some consequential effect) how they proceed actually through various movements and physical training in a daily life.  

Misha underlines that his 50-week online course is built on the assistance to a “trainee to reverse lifestyle disease”. As he postulates, “health can be improved with some integrated efforts combining nutrition, breathing, mental training, physical movement and immunity”.

Mr. Sakharoff calls his system an integrative health: as it is about looking at “the whole picture in order to heal the whole person”. Systematic personal training in the long run can do more for the health than medicine, any drug supplements or/and surgery combined. Therefore the course integrates the teaching of physiology of the body with psycho-physiological mental training, supported lifestyle change and constant personal follow-up.

The whole body is to be cured…

The course’s concept is based on the presumption that “our body is strong and it is possible to help it to restore its strong natural balance, so-called physiological equilibrium”. In order to achieve lasting results, Mr. Sakharov said “it is important to understand and accept the following fact: the equilibrium-process will require progressive lifestyle change, i.e. a gradual change of small daily habits”. Only in this way the change will be strong and everlasting, he adds.

Misha Sakharoff gives the readers of our magazine a special offer to try the courses for just one euro for the first month by using a special code: Baltic with a special link to the VIP course page at: http://sakharoff.com/coupon/. Read more about the courses: http://sakharoff.com

Conclusion

As is generally known, most ambitious aims are reached by adequate practical steps. So are the practical implementation’s steps of the global aims, so-called SDGs. Danish “integrative health engineer" provides for an optimal solution: some weeks’ training can make everyone “healthy at every stage of life”.

As “healer” postulates: the disease is a war which is going on inside a human body: “it’s like an enemy that entered into your territory and you don’t know how to deal with the invasion”. One tries anything; but the enemy penetrates deeper and deeper: everything in your body becomes affected - inner organs, joints and the psyche, which leads to fear.  

If a person is mentally and physically weak then the enemy quietly wins. If a person is smart and learns how to overcome fear, how to overcome laziness, then the person wins over “any enemy” penetrated into his/her territory. 

Whatever disease you might have, it could be related to your heart, brain, internal organs or joints - there is always a cure inside the human body. Misha argues that “the cure cannot be bought in a pharmacy; the right pharmacy is inside one’s body…

Many people are either lazy, weak, uninformed, ignorant and/or unwilling to change. But if one has the patience to train everyday and make a lifestyle change according to “smart recommendations” and supervision, then one can definitely win over the disease and normalize health. Finally, it gives one a personal responsibility for one’s own health instead of relying on medications: pills don’t cure, training does.

That’s the simplest and wisest practical implementation of SDGs third goal to any person striving for lasting heath, longevity and joy of life!
