Dmitry Savelyev
First Deputy Chairman of the Duma Committee for security and combating corruption Dmitry Saveliev proposed to develop a draft law on healthy lifestyles. This was reported by “Parlamentskaya Gazeta” on Monday, March 20.
“I think it’s time to think about the legislative process of introducing a healthy lifestyle into the public consciousness. (…) The younger generation also becomes a hostage of the existing system of values of society in which health is not a dominant position,” he said.
According to the parliamentarian, Russian businesses should also motivate employees to lead a healthy lifestyle. “In developed countries care about their own health, is gradually becoming one of the key priorities for citizens. It doesn’t happen by itself — it is a lot of work, both at the state level and public”, — he stressed.
In December 2016, it was reported that deputies of the state Duma Irina Rodnina, Nikolai Valuev will prepare a set of exercises for gymnastics in the hall of pleneros. This initiative came against the backdrop of dissatisfaction of some members of Parliament because of the long meetings. However, it later emerged that the information on the gym is a joke.
