Today is National Health Day in Kiribati, a public holiday, A day to encourage citizens to have an active and healthy lifestyle.
For many countries, the health of its citizens is a top priority. A healthy lifestyle leads to people being happier and more productive. It is also a benefit to the country if it has to spend less on welfare because people are generally fitter.
Given the importance, it is surprising that not many countries have a public holiday to highlight health and activity. Apart from Kiribati, only Japan and Qatar do.
Ummm…
On this day in 1966, Buffalo Springfield made their live debut at The Troubadour in Hollywood, California. The folk rock band are renowned both for their music and as a springboard for the careers of Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Richie Furay and Jim Messina. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp5JCrSXkJY
