Strategies for a Healthy Fall
Strategies for a Healthy Fall
As the days get shorter and cooler and the leaves change color, use these strategies to help prevent chronic diseases and promote health.
Wear A Mask
If you are not fully vaccinated or if you have a weakened immune system, wear a mask indoors. If you are fully vaccinated, wear a mask indoors in areas with substantial or high
COVID-19 transmission.
Be Sun Safe
Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and broad spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF-15.
CLEAN HANDS SAVE LIVES.
Prevent the spread of germs.
Teach your kids the five handwashing steps—wet, lather, scrub, rinse, and dry—and the key times to wash hands, such as after using the bathroom or before eating.
Make Time to Unwind
and Connect With Others
For stress relief, take deep
breaths, stretch, meditate, or do
an activity you enjoy. Talk with
people you trust about how you
are feeling and express gratitude.
Get Your Screenings
Visit your doctor for
preventive services
and regular checkups.
Move More, Sit Less
Adults need at least 150
minutes of moderate-
intensity aerobic activity
every week, plus muscle-
strengthening activities
at least 2 days a week.
Eat Healthy
Delicious fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, and low-fat dairy products make healthy meals.
