Tis Flu season, protect yoursel and yourloved ones. Get your required annual inuenzao Flu vaccination now in order to protectagainst inuenza and its severe complications.It is vitally important that every USFK Soldier,Sailor, Airman, Marine. Healthcare Provider,DoD Civilian, Family Memberincludingchildren, and military retiree receive theirannual inluenza vaccination. he goal isto have all USFK Service Members, theirFamilies, and our DoD Civilians immunizedby 26 November 2008.

A person inected with Inuenza spreadsthe virus primarily through coughing andsneezing. Most healthy adults can inect othersbeginning one day beore their Flu symptomsdevelop, and up to 5 days ater becoming sick.Inected children spread more viruses over

a longer period o time. wo eective andsae vaccine types are being used within USFK to protect againstInuenza: an injectable vaccine (Fluzone) and a nasal spray vaccine(FluMist). Both vaccines are highly eective in preventing seasonalInuenza and its success is multiplied when most o the populationis vaccinated.

Children younger than 2 years old, individuals aged 65 yearsand older, people o any age with chronic medical conditions orseriously compromised immune systems, and pregnant womenare more likely than others to develop severe complications romInuenza. Tereore, it is especially important that these individuals

are immunized every year.Te single best method to prevent the

Flu is to be vaccinated each year. I alsoencourage you to use additional methods toslow the spread o the Flu virus: requentlyclean your hands with soap and water oran alcohol-based hand sanitizing gel tohelp protect yoursel rom germs and todecrease spreading germs; avoid close contact with anyone who is sick; when coughingor sneezing, cover your mouth and noseby coughing into your sleeve; and avoidtouching your eyes, nose or mouth to limityour exposure to germs.

I am committed to the USFK AnnualInuenza Prevention Program. Te threato Inuenza aecting USFK readiness andthe health o our service members and

their amilies is very real. We must be wellprepared to prevent the eects o this seasonal threat. Noticationsregarding immunization locations and times will be publishedthrough command inormation channels.

Commanders and leaders at all level must endure all eligiblepersonnel are immunized against seasonal inuenza. Compliancewith this program is mandatory or all uniormed service membersand will ensure the USFK team is mission-ready.

We Go ogether!

Stanley celebrates Hispanic Heritage MonthCAMP STANLEYDespite pouring rain,

more than 70 Soldiers, Civilians and Family

members celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month

Sept. 20 at the Camp Stanley Community

Activity Center.

We celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month the

same time every year, said Crystal Hagen,

Family Morale, Welfare, and Recreation

Camp Stanley CAC director. It is usually

celebrated by the large battalions, but thisyear I wanted to do something smaller, cuter

and more recreational.

Everything was well coordinated when

I met Sgt. James Soto of Headquarters,

Headquarters Special Troops Battalion,

Hagen said. I asked if he were Hispanic and

then asked if he would help do the cooking. I

know how to make tacos, but Hispanic food

is not just Mexican food; there are many

types of foods from the American southern

hemisphere, which offer great contrasts. He

came in the morning at 8 a.m. and began

cooking. He cooked all the food offered

today.

We are having a pool tournament, an X-Box

360 Halo 3 tournament, Uno card games,Jalapeo eating contest, and watermelon

eating contest, Hagen said. We had to

cancel the pumpkin seed spitting contest

because of the weather.

With teamwork everything comes together,

Soto said. U.S. Army photo by Jim

CFC, established in 1961, is thelargest workplace philanthropicundraiser in the world, with the goal togive ederal employees the opportunityto make generous contributions only

Yongsan community contributorsraised more than $400,000 indonations, o which $15,544 cameback to Yongsans amily support andyouth programs.

Our goal this year is $450,000,

Goodman said. Te garrison trainednearly 30 unit coordinators and keypersons Sept. 9 to help contributors

Ways to watch your waistline this winter

Randy Behr

By Randy Behr

IMCOM-K FMWR

Here is a list of 10techniques to avoid over-eating so you can stay at youroptimal weight through, andbeyond, the holiday season. Ifyou follow these tips, or followas many as possible, you willbe in a better position to notover-eat!

1. Eat plenty o vegetablesand high-fber oods. Tese oods makeyou eel ull aster and longer. Tey alsomaintain your blood sugar levels.

2. Dont skip meals. Tis causes you toeat more at your next meal. Tis will raiseyour blood sugar levels and decrease yourbasic metabolic rate.

3. Have a plan. Make sure you havehealthy snack oods readily available

such as ruits, vegetablesand proteins. Examples othese include low or non-atcottage cheese, nuts, eggs andalso sliced meats.

4. Use Portions. Buy snacksin individual serving sizesor, i they are homemade,portion them into smallpackages. Tis will stop yourom eating the entire bag.

5. Rest. Make sure you getenough sleep. Lack o sleep can lead tocravings or sugar products and additionalcalories. Aim or eight hours o sleep everynight.

6. ry to eat lighter oods. Make healthydishes or adjust your normal holiday dishesto healthier alternatives. For example, usea at-ee option i it is available.

7. Make choices. A typical holiday meal

consists o more than 2,000 calories.urkey, ham, sweet potatoes, and greenbeans are very rich in nutrients, but stayaway rom the condiments such as butter,sugar, oil (non-healthy oils) and saturatedat products.

8. Stop and think. Beore you pile upyour plate, think about what you are goingto eat. Eating is very emotional so donot eat when you are angry or upset. Inaddition, emotions decrease our ability tomake healthy choices.

9. Limit alcohol. Alcohol has emptycalories and has no nutritional value(although research states that in smallamounts it benefts the heart) I you areimpaired, this may cause you to drop yourguard so to speak and make unhealthyood choices.

10. Move. Most ftness organizationsrecommend at least 30 minutes o physicalactivity each day.
