BMI or Body Mass Index is a simple measure of weight and height used to calculate body size. When it’s too high, it can signal excess body fat, a risk factor for future health problems.But small steps now make a big difference:🏃‍♀️ Encourage daily movement🥗 Offer meals with fruits, veggies & whole grains🥤 Cut back on sugary drinks & processed foods😴 Keep regular sleep routines👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Turn healthy choices into habits, they learn by watching you!📘 More info in our #WorldHeartReport 2025.

37 million children aged 13-15 worldwide use tobacco, tricked by flashy flavors and slick marketing. It's all designed to hook them. Let's break the illusion and say: No more tricks, no more traps. #TobaccoExposed 🚫

Today is #WorldNoTobaccoDay.Did you know that over 15,000 candy and fruit-flavored e-cigarettes are on the market? That’s not by accident. That’s marketing, aimed at kids.It’s time to call out the manipulation.It’s time to protect our youth.Their health is not for sale.
