October 3 marks several holidays and important historical events around the world. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Sputnik Kazakhstan.

Today is No Swearing Day. In each of our lives there are unpleasant events and situations that cause stress. So if something does not sit well with you, there is no need to swear and raise a fuss. Look at the problem from a different angle, try to see the good in any situation. As scientists have found, if a person swears every day, negative energy accumulates in their body and begins to damage their DNA. This especially applies to women – foul language harms a woman's hormones. If you listen to scientists, you will spread only good energy around you.

Today also marks World Sobriety Day. This holiday, celebrated on October 3 around the world, aims to draw attention to the fact that alcohol abuse leads to the degradation of a person. In Germany, German Unity Day is celebrated today, while in South Korea it is the National Foundation Day.
