MINDING ME!
University Prevention Days 2014
Broaden your horizons - Get a check-up - Keep active

With their first “University Prevention Days” initiative, the University of Göttingen and the Blood Pressure Institute of Göttingen specifically aim to promote your health.


The two-day event features informational events and activities on the topics of stress management, addiction, nutrition, exercise and general well-being.




On 17 June 2014 in the Foyer of the Faculty of Physics, interested attendees get informed and get examined.


On 18 June 2014, various activities will then be offered in the Foyer of the Central Lecture Hall Building (ZHG).




By taking part in the first University Prevention Days event, you can save a trip to the doctor. The physicians and their specialised staff at the Göttingen Blood Pressure Institute are giving visitors the opportunity to get their own on-site picture of their health status.

You can have your blood pressure measured, height taken and your weight determined and will even be given a free ultrasound examination to check your carotid arteries for any plaque deposits.

If you want to submit to a blood draw, you can also have your blood values tested. After these examinations, the physicians will offer you a consultation talk if needed and if you so like.

These check-ups are offered against the backdrop of physicians involved in health projects at schools diagnosing serious health problems: Hypertension, clogged arteries and obesity.





A MINUTE FOR YOUR OWN GOOD
Besides the core topics of sports and health, the University Prevention Days are also devoted to the promotion of personal well-being. According to the motto:

"How do I actually manage stress in my life?" The lectures held on 18 June 2014 will incorporate a Mindfulness Minute. This teaches you how to take a minute a day to practice mindfulness, to reflect on and question your personal well-being and how well you are doing overall.





JOIN-IN ACTIVITIES

For those seeking relaxation, an on-site CHILL OUT LOUNGE provides mobile massages.
