If you are 74 +, please check with your doctor for their

recommendations of frequency.

Some other vaccinations that you might need to add to your

list are:

~~Pneumonia shot at age 60 and again at 67

~~Hepatitis B for those of you that are health workers

or living with a carrier

~~Hepatitis A if you plan to visit Third World countries

~~Cholera, Typhoid Fever, Yellow Fever, and other

diseases endemic to areas where you plan to travel

~~Lyme Disease if you live, work or vacation in high-risk

areas or are exposed to ticks for any length of time.

(The highest-risk states in the US are those in the

northeast, plus Minnesota and Wisconsin)

If you have children or grandchildren, please make sure

that they are getting their necessary and required shots.

Call your doctor, dentist, vision and hearing doctors today

and set up your appointments for yourself (and any loved

ones) for the year.

Schedule a date with a nutritionist and make sure you

are eating properly and getting the proper amount of

vitamin supplements. Nutritionist in my area charge

about $60 for the first visit. It was money well spent and

an amazing experience.

Talk with your doctor about exercise and what type is best

for you. It might be as simple as taking a daily walk.

If you're a business or SOHO owner, you MUST be

healthy to meet the demands that confront you on a

daily basis.

OverHalling your problem areas might be harder for you

if you are already tired, dragging your feet, achy, sore and

don't know what's wrong. OverHalling is not easy! It will

take time, commitment, energy, and strength.

Don't let getting healthy become a resolution that you

break or a goal that you never accomplish.

Make it a *Goal-Resolve*!

Smiles, not Piles,
