get a game planHere are some ways to help you stay well:

Fit in. Wear the right shoes for your sport or activity to prevent injuries while you’re playing or training.

Sun screened. Choose sunglasses that offer protection from ultraviolet (UV) light to prevent damage to your eyes.

Scrub-a-dub. Wash your hands and use alcohol-based hand gel to keep from getting and spreading colds and flu.

A healthy perspective about prevention can keep you in the game. When you get in the practice of taking preventive measures — like always wearing the right protective gear for your sport or buckling your seat belt — staying healthy becomes second nature.

Be mindful of your well-being, on and off the field, by staying up-to-date with your immunizations and other preventive care. You can also keep your immune system strong by eating right, staying active, and getting enough rest.

Get an annual flu shot to keep from being sidelined. And if you do get sick, be a team player and help protect others by staying home until you’re better.
