World Lung Cancer Day | August 1 🌍

Today, we unite to raise awareness about lung cancer—the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide.

Established in 2012 by the Forum of International Respiratory Societies, this day reminds us of the importance of:

🔹 Prevention – avoid smoking, reduce air pollution exposure
🔹 Early Detection – regular screenings save lives
🔹 Research & Treatment – advocate for better care and breakthroughs
🔹 Support – stand with those affected 💙

Lung cancer doesn’t discriminate, but together, we can fight back. Spread awareness. Support the cause. Save lives.

Stay Cool & Hydrated This Summer!
Seniors are more prone to dehydration because our sense of thirst lessens with age. Even mild dehydration can cause dizziness, confusion, or fatigue.

👉 Sip water regularly—even if you’re not thirsty!
✅ Stay safe, stay hydrated.
