unexpected weight. With a little daily physical activity we can keep weight under

causes more diseases than any other personal habit. Examples are
cancers of the lung, mouth, bladder, and throat. Not to mention heart
and lung disease along with strokes.

usually mild, like chronic headaches, backaches, chest pain, rapid heartbeat
and increased susceptibility to colds. With more stress more serious health
problems may develop. Chronic stress will effect you emotionally as well.

and hats. Always wear sunscreens it may help protect your skin if you can't avoid
being exposed to the sun's harmful rays. It is recommended to one with SPF 15 or
higher, and always choose one with both UVA/UVB protection.

Practice safe sex
The safest sex is between two people who do not have a STD or who do
not share needles for the injection of recreational drugs. If you are unsure about your
sexual partner, please use a latex condoms and a spermicide (sperm-killer). If
you have any concerns or if you may have been exposed to a STD, see your
doctor and get tested right away.

Health screenings are very important. Talk to your family doctor about
your risk factors and what tests and exams are right for you. Your doctor
may want to do certain test if you have a family history of a condition or illness.
