Air pollution, mental health issues, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, malaria, and dengue fever are just a few of the health concerns facing our world. Understanding global health helps you become a voice of support and an advocate of change. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and World Health Organization are great places to start.
Physical Wellness
When we’re healthy and cared for, we can help and care for others.
Take steps to support the physical health of yourself and your loved ones. You can start by selecting and completing a 30-day fitness challenge together or by attending a nutrition class. Pick a health focus that best fits your circumstances and work on it together with your family.
Mental Health
Find ways to promote better mental health in your home and community.
Take time to learn about mental health and what impacts emotional well-being. Take steps to promote better mental health in your life. Possibilities include meditation, seeing a therapist, practicing self-care, taking a break from technology, and more. Find ways to genuinely connect with others.
Other Ways to Support Global Health
Share
The first step in creating change is building awareness through sharing information. Sharing images, statistics, graphics, and videos takes only a moment, but can go a long way in making global health changes. Visit doTERRA Social for resources you can share!
Live sustainably
Be conscious of your water use and the impact you’re having on the environment through plastic use and food waste. Make changes to improve your impact on the environment to help yourself and future generations.
Complete a match
Do you know of a non-profit organization working to promote global health? Use the Match Program to provide support for that organization and to double your impact.
Use your voice
Health concerns impact everyone. Learn about the leading health concerns in your area and write your local government leaders to express a desire for change. You can speak up about air pollution, request suicide prevention resources, and more. You can also reach out to your PTA and express concern about nutrition in school lunches. Find something you’re passionate about and speak up!
Serve others
Service not only helps those you’re serving, but it also boosts your own mental and emotional health. Donate to a women’s shelter, run a supply drive for a homeless shelter, reach out to a local hospital and see what the children’s ward is in need of. Find something you’re passionate about and get involved. Service goes a long way in promoting health in your life and the lives of your community members.
Express gratitude
Put together thank you/support kits for health care workers or teachers in your area. Not only will they feel appreciated and loved, but expressing gratitude is also good for your mental health!
