Health care tips

Get regular checkups. These are important even when you feel healthy. They help catch problems early, when they’re usually easiest to treat. It’s always a good idea to review your medications with your healthcare provider and pharmacist.

Exercise. Try to exercise at least 30 minutes most days a week. Exercise is good for your heart and improves strength and balance.

Quit tobacco. People who use tobacco (including smokeless tobacco) have a higher risk for heart attack, stroke, lung disease, and throat and mouth cancer. If you’re a tobacco user, quitting is the most important thing you can do right now to improve your health.

Limit alcohol and avoid drugs. Make smart choices and live a healthier life.

Eat healthy foods.
