Thousands gathered at Independence Palace in Ho Chi Minh City on May 24 for the 6th Vietnam Community Nutrition Day, an event organized by Herbalife Vietnam in collaboration with the Health & Life newspaper. The initiative, themed "Start with the smallest things, but be serious," aims to inspire individuals to adopt healthier lifestyles through simple daily changes.

Participants engaged in outdoor activities, health checks, and nutrition consultations. The event highlighted the crucial role of balanced nutrition and regular exercise in preventing illness. "Health starts with small choices," stated Dr. Tran Van Thuan, Deputy Minister of Health, urging attendees to make mindful decisions like reducing salt intake, choosing water over sugary drinks, dedicating time for physical activity, and prioritizing sleep.

Health starts with small choices, wanting to skip a meal a little less salty, a glass of soft drink replaced by a glass of water. Every morning, spend 30 minutes to walk, turn off the phone earlier to get enough sleep.
