A healthy lifestyle encompasses more than just a balanced diet and regular exercise. In America, 20% of children and almost 70% of adults are obese or overweight. Taking appropriate care of your body is essential to avoiding the onset and aggravation of health issues. Making appropriate food and drink choices, exercising frequently, getting enough sleep, staying hydrated, managing stress, thinking positive thoughts, laughing, giving up or quitting smoking, and scheduling routine medical exams are all necessary for leading a healthy lifestyle. Eat more veggies, drink water instead of sugary drinks, meditate to relieve stress, make exercise pleasant, or work out with a friend are some suggestions to help you live a better life. Life is more important than other things, so live a life along through it.
When you’ve been diagnosed with a serious illness, it can be helpful to talk with friends and family members. Sometimes it is beneficial to talk with people who have the same health issue. Support groups offer you time to meet and talk with other people with the same disease, to receive educational information, and to learn about other resources that may help you.
Meetings are a safe and confidential place to share personal issues and learn from others’ experiences. Friends and family members are welcome to attend a support group meeting with you. Questions are encouraged — don’t be afraid to ask even the smallest question. Chances are, others want to know the answer too!
If you aren’t interested in a support group, but need help coping with your condition, please talk with your doctor about counseling or other types of therapy.
The air can spread illnesses like the flu, pneumonia, and tuberculosis. Infectious agents can spread to others through airborne droplets when a sick person coughs or sneezes. Make sure you have covered your mouth with a face mask or used a tissue before disposing of it gently when you start to cough or sneeze. When you cough or sneeze without a tissue nearby, try to cover as much of your mouth with the crook (or inside) of your elbow.
One of the best methods for disease prevention is vaccination. The natural defenses of your body are strengthened by vaccinations against illnesses including polio, rabies, rubella, tetanus, typhoid, typhoid fever, cholera, diphtheria, hepatitis B, influenza, measles, mumps, pneumonia, and yellow fever.
In the Philippines, as part of the Department of Health's regular immunization program, free vaccines are given to children who are 1 year old and younger. Ask your doctor if you should verify your immunization status or get yourself vaccinated if you are an adult or adolescent.
One of the best methods for disease prevention is vaccination. One of the deadliest critters in the world is the mosquito. Mosquito-transmitted illnesses like dengue, malaria, and lymphatic filariasis continue to plague Filipinos. Simple precautions can be taken to safeguard you and your loved ones from illnesses spread by mosquitoes. Ask your doctor if you need to get vaccinated against diseases like Japanese encephalitis and yellow fever, or if you need to take antimalarial medications if you're going to a place where there are known mosquito-borne illnesses. Use bug repellent and dress in light-colored, long-sleeved shirts and slacks. Use window and door screens, bed nets, and weekly housecleaning to eliminate mosquito breeding grounds at home.
