Staying Healthy

The best medicine is good health. Do what you can to stay healthy.

• Walk for at least 30 minutes a day. Take the stairs if you're going only one or two floors. When you walk, you will feel better if you walk fast and with purpose.
• Let the sunlight shine on your skin every day. That lets your body make Vitamin D, which is a cancer fighter.
• Vaccines will prevent many painful and expensive diseases, so try to get any that you haven't had already. Vaccinations often are offered free of charge to those who cannot afford to pay.
• Take a multi-vitamin every day, which will just cost a couple of cents if you buy a knock-off and not a big name brand.
• Don't accidentally take too much of any drug, which is easy to do if you take two medicines that have some of the same active ingredients. Too much aspirin, for example, can actually give you a headache (along with other unpleasant side effects).
• You've already heard about overweight and smoking, and you know it's true, and you know what you need to do.
• If you develop a frightening symptom like an unexpected lump or bleeding, go to the doctor. There is a good chance it is not cancer, and early treatment is best whether it is or is not.
• If you are pregnant, be sure to do a prenatal visit at a clinic. They can tell you how to keep your baby and yourself healthy and happy.
• If you receive some prescription medicines, be sure and follow the label instructions. If you do not, the drugs can fail to work or even work against you.

Good Luck and Good Health!
