Young people have the power to shape a healthier future—not only for themselves, but for their families and communities.

This International Youth Day, we encourage young people to build lifelong habits that support their wellbeing. From balanced nutrition and regular movement to quality sleep and managing stress, small choices today can have a lasting impact.

At the Ibn Sina Institute of Tibb, we believe that education and prevention are key to lifelong health. By equipping the next generation with knowledge, we can help build healthier communities for years to come.

Today, we celebrate the remarkable women who lead, nurture, heal and inspire every day.

Whether you’re a mother, daughter, sister, friend, healthcare professional, educator or community leader, your strength and compassion make a lasting difference.

This Women’s Day, we honour your contributions and reaffirm our commitment to supporting the health and wellbeing of women at every stage of life.

Happy Women’s Day from all of us at the Ibn Sina Institute of Tibb.

Winter cravings are common, especially during colder days when the body naturally seeks warmth and comfort.

In Tibb, seasonal changes may influence appetite, digestion, energy, and mood. While occasional comfort foods are normal, excessive processed foods and sugar may contribute to sluggish digestion, fatigue, and imbalance during winter.

Choosing nourishing warm foods and maintaining moderation may help support both digestion and overall wellbeing during the colder months.

This World Breastfeeding Week (1–7 August), we recognise the dedication, care and strength of mothers on their breastfeeding journey.

In Tibb, health is supported through balance. Nourishing food, staying well hydrated, getting adequate rest and caring for emotional wellbeing can all contribute to supporting maternal health during this special stage of life.

Every mother’s journey is unique. If you have concerns about breastfeeding, speak to your healthcare provider or a qualified lactation consultant for personalised advice.

Together, let’s support healthier mothers, healthier babies and healthier communities.

Hydration may influence more than just thirst.

Low water intake may sometimes contribute to fatigue, headaches, cravings, and low energy levels. In Tibb, balanced hydration is considered an important part of maintaining overall wellbeing and supporting healthy daily functioning.

International Self-Care Day is a reminder that caring for your health is often shaped by the small habits repeated daily.

In Tibb, self-care extends beyond occasional pampering and includes balanced lifestyle habits that help support physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing over time. This may include proper sleep, balanced meals, movement, hydration, relaxation, stress management, and taking time to rest and recharge.

Self-care looks different for everyone, and healthy habits do not need to be extreme or unrealistic to make a meaningful difference. Small consistent choices may still help support long term balance and wellbeing.

Skipping breakfast? It might seem like you’re saving time, but it can leave you feeling tired, irritable, and reaching for unhealthy snacks later in the day.

In Tibb, breakfast is an opportunity to nourish your body after the overnight fast and support your Physis (the body’s natural healing ability). A balanced morning meal helps maintain steady energy, improves concentration, and supports healthy digestion throughout the day.

Try to include:
• A source of protein
• Healthy fats
• Fibre-rich carbohydrates
• Plenty of water

Small changes can make a big difference. Make it work with Tibb by starting your day with balanced nourishment.

Myth or Fact? Healthy eating isn’t always as straightforward as it seems.

Slow and deep breathing is a simple yet effective practice that can help calm the mind and body.

In Tibb, this cooling technique is especially beneficial for individuals who experience restlessness, emotional tension or increased internal heat. By focusing on gentle nasal breathing and allowing the abdomen to expand and release, balance can be restored and overall well-being supported.

Set aside a few quiet minutes each day to practise this technique.

Consult a qualified Tibb practitioner for personalised guidance.

Smart snacking can still be delicious.

In Tibb, food choices are often adjusted according to temperament, qualities, lifestyle, and individual balance. Warm nourishing snacks may help support comfort and steady energy levels for Melancholic temperaments.
