World Health Day is observed on April 07 every year. Good Health is considered above all wealth. It is everyone’s duty to keep their bodies and minds fit in order to live a happy and healthy lifestyle.
When someone speaks about fitness and good health, diet and exercise immediately pop up into our mind. Fitness does not necessarily mean what one eats or does, but also what one thinks about. World Health Day is one such day to give reminders to people living across different cultures and countries.
This day is about making citizens conscious about sound health so that they prioritize qualitative health over other things. In today’s world, we are so engrossed in completing our targets at work and earning money that we have reached the extent of making our own lives chaotic.
