Day 2: Understanding AMR
Misuse of antibiotics fuels resistance.
Correct use saves lives.
Be responsible. Be informed.

[Nimsa_nincd @NimsaNincd]

*Superbugs are rising.*
*Antibiotics are failing.*
*But we can change the story* .

*NIMSA NINCD* calls on students, families, and communities to use antibiotics only when prescribed and to prevent infections through proper hygiene, clean environments, and vaccination.

Day 11: Breast Cancer Awareness

Checking your breasts regularly helps you know what’s normal for you — so you can notice any changes early.
Take a few minutes each month to feel, look, and know your breasts. Early detection makes all the difference.

Day 9
Myth: Finding a lump always means cancer.
Fact: Many breast lumps are benign (non-cancerous), such as cysts or fibroadenomas. However, it’s important to get every lump checked by a healthcare professional to rule out cancer and ensure early detection

Day 8: Myth vs Fact 💡
Myth: Mammograms cause breast cancer.
Fact: Mammograms use safe, low-dose X-rays that do not cause cancer. In fact, they help detect breast cancer early, when it’s most treatable. 💖

Regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol, eating more fruits and vegetables, and avoiding smoking all contribute to better breast health.
Small choices today can make a big difference tomorrow. 💪💗

Myth: Small breasts mean a lower risk of breast cancer.
Fact: Breast size has no effect on your risk of developing breast cancer.
Cancer can develop in any breast tissue, large or small. What truly matters is regular self-examination, screening, and awareness. 💗

✨ When your body feels persistently out of balance, don’t ignore it. Addison’s Disease may be rare, but awareness saves lives. 💜

💡 “Truly a silent thief! 🦴 Many people don’t realize how fragile their bones can become until it’s too late. Let's raise awareness — prevention through diet, vitamin D, and exercise is key! 🙌 #BoneHealthMatters”

When the body's balance breaks, it's more than just stress.
Addison’s Disease is rare but serious. Know the signs, listen to your body, and raise awareness for early diagnosis and support. 💜
