Special Considerations

Everyone can benefit from leading a healthier lifestyle, but what that lifestyle may be changes from person to person. If you have a chronic illness, disability, or even a specific health goal (say recovery from surgery) you may need to modify your diet and exercise routine to meet your needs. You may also need to modify elements of your work and home environment to improve safety. (For more information on personal safety at work and home, visit our safety courses.)

Working with your doctor, healthcare provider, physical therapist, or nurse is the best way to develop a personalized plan for a healthier life. The information in this section is meant to give you ideas about certain modifications and point you to resources to help you find out more about leading a healthier lifestyle.
