World No Tobacco Day

Stop smoking or help a loved one quit on May 31st.

First held in 1988, and observed annually on May 31st, World No Tobacco Day (WNTD) is the first and only global event where smokers around the world unite to break free from their dependence on tobacco.

According to the Coalition for WNTD, approximately 1.1 billion people around the world smoke. Of these 1.1 billion smokers, around 3.5 million die every year as a result of tobacco-related illnesses. This equals 10,000 deaths per day.

It is also predicted that tobacco will be the leading cause of death and disability by the year 2020, thus causing more deaths than HIV, tuberculosis, maternal mortality, motor vehicle accidents, suicide, and homicide combined!

As a healthcare professional, you know better than most about the dangers of tobacco use. Mark May 31st on your calendar as the day you stop smoking or encourage your loved ones to quit. Visit the WNTD website for a checklist to help you succeed.

Fitness for You and Your Pet

Find fitness inspiration in your four-legged friend.

Increasingly, people are finding that their personal fitness plans have gone to the dogs. And cats. Even ferrets. Pets are the perfect workout companions. Their enthusiasm for a little outdoor activity is infectious and inspiring. Strolling about with a pet - whether it's a dog on a leash, a cat in a pet stroller, a snake around your neck or a ferret in your pocket - is a great way to meet other animal lovers who are outside enjoying the day.

Pets are proven to improve their owners' health and well-being. Research shows that pet owners have lower blood pressure, lower stress levels and make fewer doctors' visits. The opportunity to get even more good health from your pet, and return the favor at the same time is easy with a fun physical fitness program.

Here are a few guidelines to ensure that you and your pet get the most out of a physical fitness routine:

  • Boost your own energy level in the activities that you already enjoy with your pet, such as catch, frisbee or swimming. If your cat enjoys chasing string, let her chase you as you drag a string. Some cats also love playing catch!
  • Make sure any animal you take outside is up to date on vaccinations.
  • If starting a new activity,choose something appropriate for your pet's abilities, age and health. As with all fitness programs, start slowly and increase the activity level gradually.
  • Keep your pet's safety and comfort in mind; bring along water and treats if you'll be away from home.
