Exercise is Medicine: Transforming Healthcare through Physical Activity
In today’s fast-paced and sedentary world, the need for physical activity has never been more crucial. Exercise is Medicine (EIM), a global health initiative managed by the American College of Sports Medicine, recognizes the significance of regular exercise in promoting optimal health and preventing diseases. Despite its numerous successes, EIM still faces challenges in integrating physical activity into healthcare practices.

Ichthyosis: Maruska (31) grows skin 7 times faster than others
The mother of two children suffers from ichthyosis of the bullous type. In layman’s terms, this means that her skin is at first glance very rough, impermeable, but at the same time very fragile. “Even a small bump can mean some skin comes off. Painful feet are a reality, when I sometimes cry because I don’t know how to relieve myself. I deal with blisters, subsequent inflammations, large swellings on them,” explains Maruška, which causes problems even with normal walking.
Ten kilos of cream per month
She had to accept her illness and learn to live with it, because it cannot be cured. The only thing that helps is daily never-ending care. Because of this disease, the skin grows up to seven times faster than in a healthy person. Therefore, the skin needs to be carefully lubricated several times a day so that it does not dry out, harden and crack, because then the risk of inflammation would increase. “I use around eight to ten kilos of cream per month. Creams do not cure, they only make the day more pleasant when the skin does not tighten and pull.” describes Maruška.
The problem, however, is that dermocosmetics, which according to Maruška work best for patients with ichthyosis, are not recognized as a medicine and therefore insurance companies will not pay for them. Spending on cosmetics ranges from 15 to 25 thousand crowns per month. However, care does not end with creaming.
