(The above list was compiled from *Family Circle*- Your Personal Planner, Wellness Guide, Vol. 25, No. 15) 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 US are those in 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 year.

Schedule a date with a nutritionist and make sure you are eating properly and getting proper amount of vitamin supplements. Nutritionist in my area charge about $60 for 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 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*!
