Form Health’s Post

June 24-July 24 is a time that the World Health Organization is working to raise awareness about self-care. Self-care month ends on 24 July. "This symbolic day was chosen because self-care can be practiced “24 hours a day/7 days a week”. I am interested in how self-care can promote health, particularly when addressing legal conflicts with the healthiest interventions. WHO describes self-care month as an opportunity to: "raise additional awareness about self-care and self-care interventions, acknowledge the benefits that they bring to people’s lives and what’s been achieved so far; call for renewed commitments and action to expand all health systems to include self-care interventions. During the month, people around the world will be celebrating self-care practices and interventions and the difference they can make to everyone’s lives." Let's take some time this month to promote self-care in the ways we often think about self-care with proper diet, exercise, and rest. But let's also think about how to expand the potential for self-care in medical and legal needs by looking broadly to find avenues for self-care.#selfcare https://lnkd.in/ePJ3Vpit

🌟 Let's Celebrate Self-Care Month with WHO! From 24 June to 24 July 2024, we commemorate the 5th anniversary of the WHO's pioneering global Guideline on self-care interventions for health and well-being. This initiative has significantly bridged the gap between communities, primary care, and health systems, making self-care a fundamental aspect of holistic health. Self-care encompasses two pivotal components: self-care actions and self-care interventions. Self-care actions constitute the lifestyle choices and habits that foster healthier living like: ✅ Physical Activity ✅ Nutritious Diet ✅ Mental Health Care ✅ Reducing Substance Use Similarly, Self-care interventions refer to evidence-based tools, such as quality medicines, diagnostic devices, and digital applications, that support and enhance self-care practices. These tools are essential in preventing disease, sustaining health, and managing health conditions, with or without professional healthcare support. Engage with Self-Care Month by integrating these practices into your routine, fostering a healthier lifestyle. Together, we can advance our well-being and contribute to a healthier global community. #SelfCareMonth #WHO #HealthAndWellbeing #CelebrateSelfCare
