Eat & drink healthy

Make healthy choices— like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, low-fat dairy products, and water.

Move more, sit less

Being active can help you prevent, delay, and manage chronic diseases; improve balance and stamina; reduce risk of falls; and improve brain health.

Aim for moderate physical activity, like walking, at least 150 minutes a week (22-30 minutes a day) and muscle strengthening activities, like carrying groceries, at least two days a week.

Don’t use tobacco

If you use tobacco, take the first step towards quitting by calling the health ministry or any organisation that deals with substance abuse.

Get regular check-ups

Visit your doctor for preventive services, not just when you’re sick. This can prevent disease

or find it early, when treatment is more effective.
