High blood pressure, often known as hypertension, is a medical condition that typically has no symptoms. Older age, being overweight or obese, not exercising regularly, drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, smoking, eating unhealthy foods, and eating too much salt are all risk factors for hypertension. Millions of people die from heart and blood vessel diseases, with hypertension being the leading risk factor. To educate the general people about the serious medical repercussions of uncontrolled hypertension on the brain, heart, kidneys, eyes, and blood vessels, as well as the significance of routine blood pressure checks, we raise awareness of this disease today. It can result in cardiac attacks, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, and blindness if left untreated.

This illness reduces productivity and impacts a person's quality of life significantly. We'll concentrate on post-activity tiredness, a symptom that every M.E. patient suffers. When someone hears about M.E., we want this crucial element of the condition to be the first thing they think of. The campaign's goals are to raise public awareness of the diseases, inform people of their symptoms, and promote more funding for resear

Many people turn to drastic weight loss techniques as a result of the pressure to meet society's ideals of beauty and obtain a specific body type. This pressure has led to eating disorders, bullying, unhealthily restricted diets, and low self-esteem for a large number of people. However, these diets and weight-loss procedures can be detrimental to physical and emotional health.  To encourage a healthy lifestyle, people need to develop healthier relationships between food and their bodies. They need to be made aware of the life-threatening potential of eating disorders and weight-loss surgery. The goal is to show that there is no typical body type or shape and support people in tackling challenging issues related to diet and body awareness.

This happens when the body reacts adversely to an inhaled foreign substance, which causes the airways to narrow due to swelling of the surrounding tissue. This results in symptoms like coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Asthma risk is also thought to be increased by exposure to a variety of allergens and irritants, including air pollution, household dust, mould, and chemical exposure at work. Reduced exposure to asthma triggers is necessary for someone living with asthma to better manage the condition and prevent attacks. The goal of this day is to raise awareness of asthma and advocate for quality care for people with asthma worldwide.
