This section will briefly describe those strategies.

  • involvement in the delivery of health care
  • adopt healthy live styles
  • eat well-balanced diets
  • not engaging in habits that may cause health problems:
    • smoking
    • extensive drinking
    • over eating
    • excessive exercise
    • lack of sleep

  Consumers who understand their rights and responsibilities are more likely to be a partner in making decisions regarding their care. Since health plans vary so widely, it is impossible to discuss specific strategies in this booklet.
