Time to Celebrate – 75 Years of World Health Day
Do you ever look at the images on your social media pages and think, “Wow, how do they look so good?” or “I wish I were as healthy as that person.”? Life is busy. We often have all the best intentions of getting fit, losing weight, moving more and eating healthier, but sometimes, our busy schedules get in the way, and before you know it, the day is over and you’re exhausted and ready for bed. Forget New Year’s resolutions, what about turning over a new leaf in April? If your health journey has taken a turn for the worse, or if you’re in a bit of a slump, now is the perfect time to shake it up and do a master reset on your overall health.
World Health Day is on April 7, and 2023 marks the 75th anniversary of this momentous day. In 1948, countries of the world came together and founded the World Health Organisation (WHO) to promote health, keep the world safe and serve the vulnerable, with the aim of providing improvements in health to all, regardless of their location, race or financial status. This year’s theme is Health for All, with some of the key messages including:
- A vison that all people have good health for a fulfilling life in a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable world.
- The right to health is a basic human right. Everyone must have access to the health services they need when and where they need them without financial hardship.
- Almost two billion people face catastrophic or impoverishing health spending, with significant inequalities affecting those in the most vulnerable settings.
These are all important things to consider, when thinking about our own, and the health of others. So, what can you do on a personal level if you want to improve your health? Surprisingly, the answer could start with your own DNA.
