Don’t Smoke. If you do smoke, talk to your doctor about quitting. Your doctor or nurse can help you.
And, you can also help yourself. For tips on how to quit, go to: You Can Quit Smoking Now.
To talk to someone about how to quit, call the National Quitline: 1- 800-QUITNOW. For more quit-smoking resources, go to: healthyfinder, and search for “smoking.”
Be Physically Active. Walking briskly, mowing the lawn, dancing, swimming, and bicycling are just a
few examples of moderate physical activity. If you are not already physically active, start small and
work up to 30 minutes or more of moderate physical activity most days of the week.
Eat a Healthy Diet. Emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products; include lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts; and eat foods low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars. Stay at a Healthy Weight. Balance calories from foods and beverages with calories you burn off by your activities. To prevent gradual weight gain over time, make small decreases in food and beverage calories and increase physical activity.
Drink Alcohol Only in Moderation. If you drink alcohol, have no more than two drinks a day. (A
standard drink is one 12-ounce bottle of beer or wine cooler, one 5-ounce glass of wine, or 1.5
ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits.)
