Sharing Your Prevention Tips

Julia Eisman, HHS New Media Communications Director

Earlier this month, we announced that June is �Prevention and Wellness Month� � a time for us to focus on the steps that we as individuals, and communities, can take to play a more active role in our health and wellness. We recognize that there are a lot of good ideas out there, and there�s a good chance that you have some prevention tips that others may find helpful. �

With this in mind, we asked you to share some of the ways that you proactively stay healthy � by posting your ideas on our Facebook page and twitter accounts. Below are some of the comments you shared with us, that we want to share with others:

Kim says:
I hike, eat well, do yoga and lift weights. I feel that all of these activities are preventive measures.

Roberto says:
Periodic� check-ups are a great way to stay on top of your health.

Sharon� D. says:
Keep my appointments and take my medication.

The American Heart Association says:
We stay heart-healthy by eating right and exercising.

Sharon E. says:
I am so glad to see wellness promoted. That is how we will cut healthcare costs.

Boma says:
A good way to stay healthy is by constantly washing our hands with soap and water to prevent the H1N1 virus.

Jason says:
It�s time we focused on the HEALTH in Health Care!

We hope you continue to give us feedback, and that you keep sharing your great prevention tips!
