Don’t Use Tobacco

Eat Healthy
Delicious fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, and low-fat dairy products make health meals. TIP: Choose fat-free or low-fact milk or yogurt more often than cheese. They have more potassium and less sodium.
Sit Less, Move More
Adults need at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity every week, plus muscle- strengthening activities at least 2 days a week.
Be Sun Safe
Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses and use broad spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 15. TIP: Even if the weather is cooler, the sun can still damage your skin. UV rays, not the temperature, do the damage.
Rethink Your Drink
Substitute water for sugary or alcoholic drinks to reduce calories and stay safe.
Brush Your Teeth
Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
Sleep
Get at least 7 hours of sleep every night.
Learn Your Family Health History
Talk to your family and your doctor about your family health history.
Wash Your Hands
Wash your with soap and clean running water for 20 seconds.
Get Your Flu Shot
An annual flu vaccine is the best way to help against flu, especially for cancer survivors.
Get Your Screenings
Visit your doctor regularly for preventive services like cancer and diabetes screenings.
