The focus on World Health Day is to promote healthy living and bring attention to global health challenges.
Below are five (5) important measures to note on World Health Day:
1. FOCUS ON PREVENTION: Put an emphasis on prevention because it is the foundation of good health. Many diseases can be prevented by making little modifications to one’s lifestyle, such as engaging in regular exercise, eating a balanced diet, and abstaining from dangerous practices like smoking and binge drinking.
2. PUT YOUR MENTAL HEALTH FIRST: It’s critical to pay attention to both your physical and mental health. Make sure to look after your mental health by getting help from a professional if necessary, engaging in self-care, and spending time with uplifting and positive individuals.
3. BE VACCINATED: Vaccines are among the best ways to shield you and others from contagious diseases. Ensure that you and your family have had all the appropriate vaccinations.
4. BE FAMILIAR WITH YOUR NUMBERS: Knowing your key health statistics, such as blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels, is important. Your healthcare provider can help you keep track of your health and identify any potential problems early on by scheduling routine checkups with you.
5. MAINTAIN PROPER HYGIENE: Preventing the spread of infectious diseases requires adequate hygiene. Keep your mouth and nose covered when you cough or sneeze, wash your hands frequently, and stay at home if you’re feeling sick.
