Five tips for a healthy lifestyle

1. Get
regular checkups. These are important even when you feel healthy.
They help catch problems early, when they’re usually easiest to treat.
It’s always a good idea to review your medications with your
healthcare provider and pharmacist.

2. Exercise. Try to exercise at least 30 minutes most days a week.

Exercise is good for your heart and improves strength and balance.

3. Quit tobacco. People who use tobacco (including smokeless

tobacco) have a higher risk for heart attack, stroke, lung disease, and
throat and mouth cancer. If you’re a tobacco user, quitting is the most
important thing you can do right now to improve your health.

4. Limit alcohol and avoid drugs. Make smart choices and live a
healthier life.

5. Eat healthy foods. Include fruits, vegetables and whole grains in

your meals. Drink water and avoid sugary beverages.
