TIPS for HEALTHY LIVING:

Do not smoke or use tobacco in any other form (like chewing). (Tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/vital_signs/index.htm).

Do not drink and drive. (Alcohol-impaired drivers are involved in about 1 in 3 crash deaths, resulting in nearly 11,000 deaths in 2009. http://www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/DrinkingAndDriving/).

Wear Seatbelts / Every person in every seat buckles up on every trip. (Adult seat belt use is the most effective way to save lives and reduce injuries in crashes. http://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/seatbelts/)

Exercise regularly. (http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/physical/pdf/PA_Fact_Sheet_Adults.pdf)

Immunization. You are NEVER too old to get immunized. (Getting immunized is a lifelong, life-protecting job. Do not leave your healthcare provider’s office without making sure you have had all the vaccinations you need. http://www.immunize.org/catg.d/p4030.pdf )

Schedule PRE-TRAVEL consultation and POST-TRAVEL follow-up. Ideally, schedule pretravel consultation 4 to 6 weeks before your trip. (http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/vaccinations.htm#scheduled). A substantial proportion of the travelers were not adequately protected against malaria, hepatitis A or hepatitis B. Future efforts need to focus on improving the level of awareness of travelers regarding their risk of disease acquisition overseas and the importance of pre-travel education, immunizations, malaria chemoprophylaxis.
