Steemit Engagement Challenge / S13W1 - "Health and our Environment"

“Health is the greatest gift" - Lord Buddha

Hello to the community,

First I congratulate Healthy Steem administration for once again selecting for this season of the engagement challenge!

Well, as the phrase suggests, it shows the value of being physically and mentally healthy for a quality life. Even though we put many other things far more important than being healthy, everything is centered upon it. So, it's nice of the community to bring up this challenge, "Health and our Environment" to discuss precious matter.

🌱🏞️ Tell us in your words what you understand about Global health

Global Health is the healthcare for all the people around the world regardless of any geographical or territorial boundaries. We can sort this out by remembering what happened from COVID-19. It shows how health issues can lead to a social and economic crisis worldwide without any barriers. But globally as a whole everyone fought against it and could rise again after months of suffering.

So, here we have to promote good health practices for everyone, provide easy access to healthcare, prevent diseases, improvement of medical facilities globally. One unhealthy person or a nation can destroy the whole image and cause unpredictable damage. That's why we should be looking for a world where everyone is healthy. Organizations like WHO, Red Cross, UNO, etc have take this noble yet huge responsibility on their shoulders.

🌱🏞️ Which point is most important to you? Give your reasons

Well, out of the five most important actions highlighted by The World Health Organization (WHO), each and every point is very valid. But I think Making healthy food more accessible is very vital. I strongly believe in the phrase prevention is better than cure.

Healthy food and nutrients, (if we can add healthy water that's much better) play a vital role, even though we are a little concerned about it. According to the reports, the cause of most diseases is bad food habits. Some are due to a lack of proper guidance, a busy routine, or unavailability. Eating healthy food will help prevent obesity, heart disease, diabetes, chronic illnesses, and many diseases in children. So, I believe preventing diseases is the most important point.

🌱🏞️ Which point is the least important to you? Give your reasons

Well, I can't ignore any of the other four factors in the last as least important. They all are vital in maintaining global health.

"Providing health care to nations in crisis" - ensures that urgent and immediate requirements in a natural disaster/ war are met. It will help to save a lot of lives in danger.
"Making health care accessible to everyone" - makes sure that anyone can receive the required attention and treatments easily and conveniently anytime they need.
"Expanding access to vaccines and medicine" - It will help to prevent the spreading of harmful viruses/diseases which will instantly save lives locally or globally.
"Investing in health care workers" - They are the backbone of this entire process. You may have seen how those people even work in war areas. So, their well-being, capacity, skills, training, and safety are vital in the process.

So, as I said it's hard to put any point aside as unimportant.

🌱🏞️ If you can add one more point, what will it be? Why?

I will focus on awareness of Mental Health. According to the Global Mental Health Statistics, in 2022,

''970 million people suffer from mental illness worldwide. 8 million deaths each year are due to mental disorders.'' These are recorded numbers and I believe it's much more. Mental health is very important in overall well-being. But yet we have underestimated this area leading to serious problems. It can happen to anyone from any background and the terrible thing is difficulty in the diagnosis of mental disorders. Therefore providing access to mental health facilities and awareness of it will increase the quality of life of people.

So, that's it. Thank you to the community team for bringing this nice contest. I hope you will find it interesting. I invite @sachisewwandi, @irawandedy, and@ dove11 to the contest!

Until the next time! Enjoy!

Thank you.
Best Regards!
