Less sugar, more water.

Wash your hands.

Limit your drinking:

It's true that moderate amounts of alcohol have been tied to some health benefits, like a lower risk of heart disease, but there are also serious downsides to drinking, such as a higher risk of cancer and liver disease. Moderation is the key, keep it to one drink per day if you're a woman or two if you're a man.

Check in with your doctor.

Regular visits to your doctor help in detecting early problems. Do regular test like cholesterol checks, mammograms, and prostate cancer screenings.

Use prescriptions correctly.

Remember you medications always with a reminder or daily calendar. If you are facing side effects don’t hesitate to consult your doctor.

Stay up to date on vaccines.

Grownups need shots, too. You should get a flu shot every year, but you may also be due for a tetanus booster, a shingles vaccine, or a shot to protect against pneumonia. Ask your doctor what you might be missing and when you should get it.

Take baby steps.

Small changes makes the big ones. Don’t overwhelmed yourself with a lot of healthy goals instead try to make smarter choices with small lifestyle changes.

Don't go it alone.

Find always a good partner in exercise or in regular visits to your doctor. Don’t do it alone as supportive environment is really important.
