World No Tobacco Day 2012

World No Tobacco Day 2012!

Globally, tobacco consumption is one of the leading cause of cancer and reduced lifespan! The global tobacco epidemic kills nearly 6 million people every year and is expected to kill up to 8 million people by 2030 unless we wake up and act! 

Every Year, on May 31, the world observes World No Tobacco Day, promoted by the WHO. 

The objective of WNTD  is to encourage tobacco consumes to refrain from tobacco consumption and its related products for a period of at least 24 hours. On this day, and throughout the following year, WHO urges countries to put the fight against tobacco industry interference at the heart of their efforts to control the global tobacco epidemic. 

Individuals, Government, and health organizations also promote health camps and rallies to create a tobacco-free society. It's the right time when we can express our support to help create a healthy and safe environment for future generations. Let us come up together, act and support the cause!

World Health Day 2012!

Happy World Health Day 2012!

Every year, April 7 is celebrated as World Health Day to mark the Anniversary of WHO (1948). Focusing on new and emerging health issues, World Health Day provides an opportunity to start collective action to protect people's health and well-being.

Each year a theme is selected for World Health Day that highlights a priority area of concern for WHO. The topic this year is 'Aging and Health' with the theme "Good Health Adds Life to Years". Good health can be achieved by minor changes in our eating and living habits. 

Regular exercise and meditation, balanced diet including fresh seasonal fruits and veggies, drinking lots of water to keep body hydrated, cutting down on junk foods, tobacco and alcohol consumption, managing day to day stress and getting adequate rest shall surely help us to attain a good health! 

Wishing Health and Happiness to Everyone!
