Make Healthy Choices
Every day, you make choices
about your health — choices
that affect the quality of your
life. Your physical and emotional
well-being are largely
determined by the foods you eat,
your level of activity, daily habits
and general outlook on life.
Millions of Americans suffer from preventable
causes of chronic disease and death such as:
- Cancer.
- Diabetes.
- Heart disease.
You may be able to avoid these
problems, even if heredity
is a factor.
Making good health choices
may seem overwhelming. It can
be hard to keep up with all the
information available to you
— and even harder to decide
what advice to follow. The best advice is to:
- Understand and address your
health risks.
- Do not smoke.
- Increase physical activity.
- Eat healthy foods.
- Develop other healthy habits.
This article contains tips,
tools and resources to help you
begin enjoying a healthier life.
