World health day 2013Okay, so I know I am a day late on this one. Like many of you, I just got back into town from Spring break, so I am a day late. Yes, yesterday (April 7th) was World Health Day but just in case you missed it, like me, then I think it’s never too late to learn something important, even life saving.

WHO or the World Health Organization was started by diplomats from the United Nations on April 7th, 1945 and ever since we have celebrated World Health Day on that day….except today of course:)

Each year a different topic of international health is chosen and this year’s theme is blood pressure. I have to say after spring break and getting into some bad habits in a few short days, this message is more relevant than ever.

So enjoy World Health Day and remember it’s never to late to take of yourself or someone you love, even a day late!
