<p>Good food, sleep, and exercise are crucial for better health, said the government on Monday on <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/lifestyle/health-and-fitness/article/world-health-day-2025-check-theme-history-significance-and-other-details-23514561" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>World Health Day</strong></a>.</p>
<p>World Health Day is celebrated on April 7 every year. The theme this year is Healthy beginnings, hopeful futures.</p>
<p>&ldquo;This #WorldHealthDay, let&rsquo;s commit to small healthy habits for a brighter, stronger future,&rdquo; the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare shared in a post on social media platform X.</p>
<p>In a video posted along the post, the ministry advised people to eat good food, with more fruits and vegetables; to move more, and sit less.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Walk, run, dance, or stretch for 30 minutes a day to stay fit,&rdquo; the ministry said</p>
<p>&ldquo;Take a <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai-guide/things-to-do/article/what-is-sleepmaxxing-all-you-need-to-know-about-the-viral-trend-and-how-you-can-sleep-better-23498818" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>good night's sleep</strong></a> to recharge your body and mind,&rdquo; it added.</p>
<p>The Ministry also suggested people increase their intake of water, to &ldquo;keep body cool and energy high&rdquo; as well as to care for mental health by taking breaks.</p>
<p>&ldquo;On this World Health Day let's promise to take care of our health every single day,&rdquo; the Ministry said.</p>
<p>Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged Indians to adopt a healthier lifestyle and work towards a life free from obesity.</p>
<p>He emphasised that maintaining personal fitness would be a significant contribution to India's goal of becoming a developed nation -- Viksit Bharat.</p>
<p>"On World Health Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to building a healthier world. Our government will keep focusing on healthcare and invest in different aspects of people's well-being. Good health is the foundation of every thriving society!" PM Modi posted on X.</p>
<p>In a video message shared on the platform, the Prime Minister stressed the age-old adage that "health is the ultimate fortune and the ultimate wealth" while sounding an alarm over India's growing obesity crisis.</p>
<p>"You all know that today, our lifestyle is becoming a big threat to our health. Recently, a report has come on the problem of <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/lifestyle/health-and-fitness/article/severe-obesity-may-raise-risk-of-16-common-health-conditions-study-23514610" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>obesity</strong></a>. This report says that by 2050, more than 44 crore Indians will suffer from obesity. This is scary. How big a crisis can this be?" he said.</p>
<p>He called for immediate action to prevent such a scenario and proposed a simple change: "I want to take a promise from you today that we all should reduce our cooking oil by 10 per cent. This will be a big step towards reducing obesity."</p>
<p>He further encouraged people to incorporate regular physical activity into their daily routines.</p>
<p>"Apart from this, we have to make exercise a part of our life. If we keep ourselves fit, then it will be a big contribution to the journey of a Viksit Bharat," he added.</p>
