‘Hormones and Preserving Youth’ book launches

A book on healthy lifestyles, hormone imbalances and other vital medical information was been launched on Saturday evening.

Authored by endocrinologists Dr. Mariya Rosalenko and Dr. Mohamed Wisham, entitled ‘Hormones and Preserving Youth’ was officially launched by the Chairperson of Maldives Stock Exchange (MSE), Alau Ali, at a ceremony held at the Art Gallery.

The book primarily covers the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and impacts of hormonal imbalances. The book provides a comprehensive look into hormonal issues, stress, and health implications due to old age.

While this marks the book’s Maldives debut, it was officially launched in Belarus in February 2023. The book is available in both Russian and English languages from Amazon and Audible.

The authors of the book, while speaking at the launch event, underscored multiple topics related to the book, including proper health care education, dangers of obesity especially among adolescents, infertility and the rise of endocrine conditions.

One of the book’s authors, Dr. Wisham, said the book was launched with the aim of extending assistance to the Maldivian community, and expressed gratitude to the State Trading Organization (STO) and Belarus Maldives Cultural Center for helping in launching the book.

Dr. Mariya, also a Public Professor, said her short tenure at the Neuro-Endocrine Medical Facility helped her understand the patient behavior in the Maldives, but her primary focus is on raising awareness on weight-related ailments and promote healthy lifestyles among the locals.

The proceedings of the book will be donated to the Maldives humanitarian organization.
