What You Can Do To Stay Healthy

[Moses joel Adetokunbo]

To maintain good health and reduce the risk of diseases, there are several steps you can take in addition to regular checkups with your healthcare provider. These measures also help manage existing health conditions.

1. Quit smoking and avoid tobacco use altogether.
2. Engage in at least 150 minutes of exercise per week (equivalent to 2 hours and 30 minutes).
3. Consume a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and low-fat or nonfat dairy products.
4. If you consume alcohol, do so moderately (no more than 2 drinks per day for men and no more than 1 drink per day for women).
5. Maintain a healthy weight.
6. Always buckle up using seatbelts while driving and ensure children are secured in car seats.
7. Refrain from using illegal drugs.
