Subject: 🌱Nurturing Minds: World Health Day 2025 🧠

Helloooooo thereeee People!

👋 As World Health Day approaches on April 7^th, we're reminded on the importance of our well-being both physically and mentally. World Health Day marks the founding of the World Health Organisation (WHO), which was created when all United Nations countries agreed to work together to improve health around the world.

We're taking this opportunity to shine a spotlight on something we all have but don't always talk about – our mental health! In a world that often celebrates physical wellness with gym selfies and step counts, the health of our minds deserves just as much attention and care.

Mental well-being isn't just about avoiding stress or feeling happy all the time (wouldn't that be nice though? 😄). It's about building resilience, understanding our emotions, and creating balance in our lives. Just like we wouldn't expect our bodies to function well without proper nutrition and rest, our minds also need regular maintenance and support.

Here at Imperium Group, we believe that a healthy workplace starts with healthy minds. Because when we take care of our mental health, we're better colleagues, better friends, and ultimately, better versions of ourselves! ✨

DID YOU KNOW? 💡

🌎 World Health Day 2025 will kick off a year-long campaign on maternal and newborn health. The campaign, titled Healthy beginnings, hopeful futures, will urge governments and the health community to ramp up efforts to end preventable maternal and newborn deaths, and to prioritise women’s longer-term health and well-being.

🗓️ World Health Day began in 1950. Each year, it focuses on a different health topic that needs attention. This helps people learn about important health issues happening in the world.

📊 Many World Health Day campaigns have led to sustained programmes and policy changes. 📝 For example, the 2013 focus on high blood pressure led to ongoing hypertension screening programmes in several countries. 🩺❤️

📱 People can join local health events 🎪, share information on social media, organise community health screenings 🧪, or simply learn more about the year's theme 📚🔍.

💡 Taking a 10-minute mindfulness break can reduce stress hormones in your body and improve focus for up to 2-3 hours afterward!

🔄 Our brains process approximately 70,000 thoughts per day. No wonder we feel mentally exhausted sometimes!

😴 Sleep and mental health are best friends! Just one night of good sleep can improve your problem-solving abilities by up to 50%.

🚶‍♀️ A 30-minute walk releases endorphins that naturally boost your mood and can be as effective as medication for mild to moderate depression in some cases.

🌿 Indoor plants in your workspace can reduce stress levels by up to 15% and increase productivity. (Time to justify that plant shopping spree!)

🌍 World Health Day isn't just another date on the calendar—it's our yearly reminder that health matters for everyone, everywhere. Whether you're taking the stairs instead of the elevator today 🪜, packing a nutritious lunch 🥗, checking in on a colleague who seems stressed 🧘‍♀️, or simply drinking more water 💧 (yes, that reminder again!), every small step counts towards better health.

Let's use World Health Day as a springboard for creating healthier habits that last way beyond April 7^th. After all, our bodies are the only place we have to live in for our entire lives - might as well make it a happy, healthy home! 🏡

Stay healthy, stay awesome! 🌟

Hasta La Vista People ! 🙋‍♀️

Crazily Yours,

The Gazette Committee
