Limit red meat and processed meat. Choose chicken, fish or beans more often.
Choose 100 percent whole grain foods such as 100 percent whole grain breads and cereals, brown rice, millet and quinoa.

Aim for at least 150 minutes of exercise per week
Limiting Alcohol

No one should drink a lot of alcohol.
Drinking more has no health benefits and many serious health risks.
Smoking
For smokers, it’s never too late to benefit from quitting.
The risk of heart disease goes down very quickly after stopping smoking. And, over time, the risk of lung and other cancers can drop to near that of someone who never smoked.
Maintaining healthy weight.
Being overweight and weight gain also increase the risk of other health problems, such as heart disease and diabetes. Regular exercise and eating a healthy diet are the best ways to maintain a healthy weight.
