Vícar brings together 120 women at the health and sports days

Around 120 women took part on Saturday, November 7, in the third edition of the Jornadas Mujer, Salud y Deporte de Vícar, organised by the Council's Department for Equality. The event began at nine in the morning at the Hotel Envía Golf and continued until the communal lunch, under the slogan «Cuida hoy la mujer que quieres ser mañana». The first talk was given by Dr Gracia Fernández Moya, who spoke about whether it is possible to live without tranquillisers. According to her, anxiolytics are a temporary treatment and «sí es posible llevar una vida de calidad sin ellos», always with medical follow-up and a personalised prescription.

The co-directors of Clínica Bemu, Ana María Capel and Paloma Martínez, addressed pelvic floor care: what it is, how it works, its main conditions and how to integrate it into physical and daily activity. The theoretical part was completed with a practical exercise and recommendations. The dietitian and nutritionist Rocío Castaño discussed nutrition at the different stages of life, such as reproductive age, perimenopause and menopause, and answered questions from those attending. The sexologist Jesús Alonso closed the talks with a session on self-esteem, sexual health and affectivity, focused on self-knowledge and communication. Before lunch, Mar de Zumba got the participants dancing. The mayor, Antonio Bonilla, opened the event wishing those attending a productive day «para el aprendizaje, la convivencia y el encuentro», according to the Ayuntamiento de Vícar. The event has now been held three times. This year's kept the format of informative talks combined with physical activity and a space for socialising, with the aim of continuing to hold them.
