<http://www.healthfinder.gov/> healthfinder� logo Summer vegetables from vegetable gardens, roadside stands, and farmers' markets make it easy for families to meet the goal of National 5 A Day Month <http://www.5aday.gov/> --to help Americans eat 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables every day for better health. The 5 A Day program is sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Produce for Better Health Foundation. Don't forget how important eating fruits and vegetables is after Labor Day, when things get busy again at work and school. The 5 A Day site offers tips on meals, budgets, and school lunches in Easy Ways to 5 A Day <http://www.5aday.gov/index-quick.shtml> . To help keep fruits and veggies from becoming boring, CDC has created a year-round Fruit and <http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/5aday/month/index.htm> Vegetable of the Month planner that offers information on availability, selection, storage, preparation, and recipes. September's fruit and vegetable, for example, are pomegranate and eggplant. Another important nutritional goal for Americans is to "Know your cholesterol numbers, know your risk," the theme of <http://hin.nhlbi.nih.gov/cholmonth/> National Cholesterol Education Month. Eating more fruits and vegetable may reduce cholesterol, and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute offers a <http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/heart/chol/chol_iq.htm> quiz, <http://hin.nhlbi.nih.gov/atpiii/calculator.asp?usertype=pub> heart attack risk tool, <http://hin.nhlbi.nih.gov/cholmonth/track3.htm> tracker to measure progress, and <http://hin.nhlbi.nih.gov/cholmonth/recipes.htm> heart-healthy recipes for keeping your <http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/heart/chol/wyntk.htm> cholesterol at a healthy level. Preventive health services are just as important as eating right. With vacations over and folks back home, it's a great time to assess your health and that of your loved ones. That's why September 21st is <http://omhrc.gov/healthgap/2004drday.htm> Take a Loved One to the Doctor Day, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It's your chance to encourage those you love to visit a health professional -- or at least make an appointment to visit one. And look for a community-sponsored health event near you on this day. It's a great way to show you care. September 26-October 2 is National Adult Immunization <http://www.nfid.org/publications/naiaw04/> Awareness Week, sponsored by the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases' National Coalition for Adult <http://www.nfid.org/ncai/> Immunization. The best protection against flu and pneumonia is vaccination every fall. The National Immunization Program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also offers recommendations for adult <http://www.cdc.gov/nip/recs/adult-schedule.htm> immunization. September also is Prostate Cancer Awareness <http://www.pcacoalition.org/pressroom/pcam.php> Month, sponsored by the Prostate Cancer Awareness Coalition. Some of the biggest names in films and sports will be taking part in events across the country, and free screenings will be offered in many communities. Physical activity rounds out the big three of staying healthy, and taking the President's Physical Activity Challenge as a family, with co-workers, or with school friends is a great way to stay healthy. You can form your own group on the <http://www.presidentschallenge.org/> Challenge site and track your physical activity as a team. Materials are also available for home schools and for people with disabilities so that all groups can achieve their personal goals.
