Health is the foundation of a thriving life, yet millions worldwide face preventable diseases due to poor lifestyle choices. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), over 70 per cent of global deaths are caused by non-communicable diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory conditions many of which can be avoided with early detection and lifestyle modifications.

Mental health issues are also on the rise, with one in four people experiencing a mental disorder in their lifetime. On World Health Day, experts from Aster Clinics and Aster Hospitals share actionable insights, empowering individuals to take charge of their well-being and build a healthier future.

YOUR DAILY HEALTH BLUEPRINT: SMALL STEPS, BIG IMPACT

Dr Celia Antony George, General Practitioner at Aster Clinic, King Faisal Road (Sharjah) says, "A healthier future starts with simple, everyday choices. Drinking enough water, getting at least 30 minutes of physical activity, and ensuring quality sleep are small steps with a big impact."

"Regular health check-ups help identify risks early, allowing timely interventions before they turn into major health issues. Avoiding processed foods, limiting sugar intake, and managing stress contribute significantly to long-term wellness.

Many diseases, including diabetes and heart conditions, are preventable with the right lifestyle changes. Prevention is always better than cure, and maintaining a balanced routine helps in building a strong foundation for overall well-being. Start today — your future self will thank you."
