Every year, Self-Care Month is observed from June 24 to July 24 to encourage people to take an active role in managing their health and well-being
The 2026 theme, “Self-Care puts your health in your hands: Test. Track. Thrive,” highlights the importance of making informed decisions about personal health through regular monitoring and healthy lifestyle choices
The World Health Organization recommends several simple but effective self-care practices
These include getting enough sleep, staying physically active, drinking adequate water, and maintaining a balanced diet
People are also encouraged to prioritise their mental health by managing stress, seeking support when needed, and taking time to relax
Limiting alcohol consumption and avoiding tobacco use are equally important steps towards better health
By adopting these habits, individuals can reduce the risk of disease, improve their quality of life, and build resilience for a healthier future.
