National Body Care Day

National Body Care Day takes place on April 5 every year. This day honors the fundamental human right of self-care and reminds us to draw lessons from our natural environment to live a better life. Every day, our skin goes through a lot. The skin acts as a shield, protecting our bodies from harsh elements, water, and other environmental pressures. Maintaining the appropriate function of this crucial layer of protection helps lower the incidence of chronic degenerative skin illnesses. While being pampered is pleasurable, self-care and appropriate skin care are key healthy habits that we should all practice.

Accelerate ACL Awareness Among Young Women Day

Accelerate A.C.L. Awareness Among Young Women Day (A.A.A.Y.W. Day) is observed annually on April 5. It is aimed at raising awareness among parents, coaches, educators, and young women on how to prevent and treat A.C.L. injuries. The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (A.C.L.) is a ligament in the knee joint that prevents the tibia from sliding out in front of the femur, as well as provides rotational movement to the knee. According to several studies, women have a higher incidence of A.C.L. injury than men.

International Day of Conscience

We observe the International Day of Conscience every April 5. It is a day started by the United Nations General Assembly commemorating the importance of the human conscience. The human conscience is an important intellectual quality that differentiates us from the rest of the animal kingdom. The human mind is an amazing and complex unit, and the human conscience is even more so. This is a day to promote the importance of self-reflection and doing the right thing. This day also helps to improve society’s collective good by identifying the corrections that need to be done.
