Aspirin, one of the world's most famous and widely used medications, was first registered on March 6, 1899, by the German company Bayer AG. The active ingredient, acetylsalicylic acid, was synthesized by chemist Felix Hoffmann. His motivation was personal; he sought a less irritating substitute for salicylic acid to alleviate his father's rheumatism. The history of aspirin's active ingredient dates back centuries, with salicylate-rich willow bark being used for pain relief and fever reduction in various cultures. However, it was not until the 19th century that scientists began to isolate and modify salicylic acid to reduce its side effects, leading to the creation of acetylsalicylic acid. Upon its release, aspirin quickly became a staple in medicine cabinets worldwide, renowned for its efficacy in reducing pain, fever, and inflammation. Over time, studies also revealed aspirin's role in reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes, attributing to its blood-thinning properties. Internationally, aspirin is known by various names, such as "acetylsalicylic acid" in scientific communities and "aspirina" in several Latin languages. In some countries, it is sold under different brand names, but "aspirin" remains a globally recognized term. Aspirin's name comes from "A" for acetyl, "spir" from the spirea plant (a source of salicylate), and "in," a common suffix for medications at the time.

International Women's Day (IWD), celebrated on March 8th annually, marks a global observance to honor women's achievements and advocate for gender equality. The day traces its origins to the early 20th century, catalyzed by women's labor movements in North America and Europe. The first National Woman's Day was observed in the US on February 28, 1909, inspired by the Socialist Party of America. In 1910, Clara Zetkin, a German activist, proposed the idea of an international day at the International Socialist Women's Conference, leading to the first IWD in 1911, celebrated in Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland. A core motive for IWD's inception was advocating for women's suffrage rights. The IWD gained recognition from the United Nations in 1977, which officially invited member states to proclaim March 8 as the UN Day for women's rights and world peace to highlight issues such as gender inequality, violence against women, and the need for gender parity in various sectors. In some countries, IWD is an official holiday, and men honor the women in their lives with flowers and small gifts. While there have been advancements in women's participation in politics and the workforce, significant gaps remain. IWD has mobilized movements, influenced policies, and brought attention to women's rights, showing the power of collective action in driving social change. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women%27s_Day Art&Text🫶ChatGPT.

World Obesity Day, observed on March 4th, is dedicated to promoting practical solutions to end the global obesity crisis. Obesity, a complex health condition characterized by excessive body fat, is a major risk factor for various diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers. Historically, obesity was mostly seen as a symbol of wealth and prosperity. Many of the Venus figurines, made 20,000+ years ago, are corpulent ladies and thought to symbolize fertility, health, and abundance, maybe idealizing body size in times where food scarcity was a constant threat. Ancient medical texts saw it as a health risk, but only in the 20th century research highlighted it as a medical condition. It's caused by a combination of genetic, behavioral, and environmental factors. Poor diet, lack of physical activity, and sedentary lifestyles are key contributors. Obesity affects all age groups and socioeconomic classes, over 10% of the population. However, prevalence rates vary significantly across different regions and populations. In recent years, developing countries have witnessed a rapid rise in obesity rates, a shift attributed to urbanization and changes in lifestyle and dietary habits. Obesity's toll on health, life quality, and economy is huge. World Obesity Day calls for united efforts for change, advocating for healthy lifestyles, supportive policies, and research to combat this challenge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity Art&Text🫶ChatGPT.
