JAKARTA - Deputy Governor (Deputy Governor) of South Sumatra (Sumsel) Cik Ujang invites all levels of society in the province with 17 regencies/cities to continue to apply a Clean and Healthy Lifestyle (PHBS) so as not to be easily attacked by disease.

"The pattern of clean and healthy life is always important for the community because it can avoid various diseases," said Deputy Governor Cik Ujang, in Palembang, Monday.

According to him, his party continues to encourage people to adopt a clean and healthy lifestyle on various occasions.

He said that one of the diseases that people often experience as a result of ignoring a clean and healthy lifestyle is heart disease.

If a person has heart disease, he said, in addition to dealing with it with treatment, it is necessary to apply PHBS such as maintaining foods that contain high cholesterol, avoiding smoking, and exercise.

To increase community PHBS, his party seeks to deploy health workers to educate the public to residential areas to remote villages.

Communities spread throughout districts and cities within the South Sumatra region, he said, must pay attention to indicators of healthy lifestyles such as getting enough sleep / not often staying up late, exercising regularly, consuming vegetables and fruits.

He said these various efforts were part of a strategy to reduce the burden on the state and society in health financing.
