What are communicable
diseases?• A communicable disease is a disease that
spreads from person to person. • Communicable diseases are diseases that
you can "catch" from someone or something else.
• Some people may use the words contagious or infectious when talking about communicable diseases.

• When a person becomes sick with a communicable disease it means a germ has invaded their body.

Ways to Prevent Communicable
Diseases:• Keep immunizations up to date. • Wash your hands often, especially during
cold and flu season.• Use antibiotics exactly as prescribed
• Report to your doctor any infection that is quickly getting worse or any infection that does not get better after you take a prescribed antibiotic.

Chronic Disease Prevention
• Although common and costly, many chronic diseases are also preventable.
• Many chronic diseases are linked to lifestyle choices that are within your own hands to change.

Prevention• Eating nutritious foods, becoming more
physically active and avoiding tobacco can help keep you from developing many of these diseases and conditions.
• Even if you already have a chronic condition, eating more healthful food and getting more exercise can help you better manage your illness, avoid complications and prolong your life.

Research Shows:• Don't smoke, eat healthily, exercise regularly,
and avoid alcohol, and you are likely not only to have fewer chronic health problems, but also to live longer, according to a new study from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
• Neglecting to follow these four healthy behaviors is responsible for much of the illness and death linked to chronic diseases.

In Your Journals:• Write 2 prevention strategies or lifestyle
choices you will implement in your life to reduce the risk for communicable and chronic diseases.
• Explain why you chose these 2 strategies– what is your plan to make sure you do it?
• What diseases are you trying to prevent by making these lifestyle choices?
