CDC.gov Features deliver actionable and timely health, safety and wellness messages. Here is a preview of the CDC.gov Health and Safety features of the week:
Diabetes & Pregnancy
Diabetes is often detected in women during their childbearing years and can affect the health of both the mother and her unborn child. Controlling diabetes before and during pregnancy will help prevent birth defects and other poor outcomes, such as miscarriage or stillbirth.
Health on the Go
In honor of National Women's Health Week, May 9-15, 2010, learn how to stay healthy even when you're on the go. These simple health tips may help you make better choices even when you're tired, stressed, or in a hurry.
Preventive Services Can Help Save Lives
Only 1 in 4 Americans between the ages of 50 and 64 get a core set of recommended preventive services. Protect your health by taking advantage of immunizations and chronic disease screenings.
Stay Healthy at Animal Exhibits This Summer
From watching calf roping at the rodeo to petting lambs at the county fair, there are many ways to explore the animal world. Follow these tips to help you prevent illness when visiting animal exhibits this summer.
You Can Help Prevent Birth Defects
Women who take 400 micrograms (mcg) of folic acid every day can help prevent some serious birth defects of their baby’s brain and spine. If taken daily before and during pregnancy, folic acid, a B vitamin that the body uses to make new cells, can help prevent spina bifida and anencephaly.
CDC.gov feature articles are written by subject matter experts and health communicators, then edited to emphasize strong call-to-action messages and friendly, meaningful visuals. While most features are topic- or event-driven, some capture the full scope of CDC's work on cross-cutting topics such as staying healthy and safe over the holidays, sending kids back to school, or CDC's global programs and outreach. CDC Features may be syndicated to other Web sites at no cost. Learn more about Content Syndication.
