[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Your health is your wealth and your body is an incredible vessel. Treat it with kindness and respect. Fuel it with nourishing food, stay hydrated, keep it active, and give it the rest it deserves. A healthy body fuels a healthy mind, empowering you to conquer any challenge that comes your way.
