Commercial Bank announced an exciting new health campaign for its staff ‘Your Health in Ramadan’ - which is a one month initiative by Aspire Zone Foundation, meant to engage the staff of Commercial Bank in a self-managed program, based on a modest amount of daily healthy activity.

An increasing number of people in Qatar suffer from lifestyle diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, due to changes in lifestyle that trend toward obesity more and more. These diseases are predominantly caused by sedentary lifestyles and poor eating habits. The month of Ramadan is a great opportunity to focus on bringing back a balanced and healthy lifestyle in our life. We are all aware that exercise and physical activity is important to maintain a healthy body and mind, and one of the simplest ways of achieving this is by walking - in essence, taking 10,000 more steps a day.

Yesterday i have received my pedometer provided by Aspatar, and start wearing it at 01:00 PM, at the end of the day i was surprised that with my normal activities which includes one hour active walking from 10:00 to 11:00 PM that i have exceeded the target of 10000 steps away too far :) below is my first day record ...

Do you have a body guard ?

And An amazing great answer by Muhammad Ali ....

I have one bodyguard. He has no eyes, though He sees.He has no ears, though He hears. He remembers everything, but has no memory. When he wishes to create a thing, He just orders it to be and it comes into existence. but His orders is not commanded with words, which takes the tongue to follow it or the sound carrying ears. He hears the secrets of those on the quiet thoughts. Who is that?That is God, Allah. He is my bodyguard, He is your bodyguard.
