Get Healthy – Stay Healthy!
You can do it – and we are here to help!
Getting healthy and staying healthy are a few do-able steps away. There are things
you can do each and every day that will put you on the path to better health – while
helping you feel better, look better, and give you the energy you need to get through
your busy days!
1. Quit smoking. If you smoke, there is no doubt about it: stopping is the most
important thing you can do for your health. We know it’s hard, but you don’t have
to do it alone.
Let us help.
2. Watch your weight. Fit into those jeans and reduce your risk of cancer at the
same time! If you’re trying to drop a few pounds, start by watching your portion
sizes and adding more activity throughout your day. Check out our
tools and practical tips to help get you started.
3. Get active. Run, jump, play, walk – find something you enjoy doing and keep doing
it! Be active for at least 30 minutes 5 or more days per week, and see your energy
levels rise, your stress levels go down, and your health improve. We each have 1440
minutes every day – try to find time to be active for at least 30 of those! Check
out the Great American
Get Active web site for some fun and easy ways live a more physically active
lifestyle.
4. Eat your way to better health. Add some color and pizzazz to your plate with
more fruits and vegetables. Go for whole grain breads, pastas, cereal. For some
easy and delicious ways to eat better each day, visit the Great American
Eat Right Challenge web site.
5. Know what tests you need. Take the Great American
Health Check, an on-line assessment that helps you understand which cancer early
detection tests you should take to find cancer early when treatment is more likely
to be successful, or to prevent cancer altogether.
6. Limit your alcohol intake, if you drink at all. Ladies – no more than one drink
per day. Men – no more than two.
Living well, staying well – it’s important to you, and it’s important to us. Following
these healthy tips above will set you on the path to better health. Why not get
started right now?
