1.               Keep Physically Active

•        Find an activity you enjoy and do it regularly.

•        Some ideas include dancing, swimming, riding bikes, playing basketball, and walking.

•        Remember, exercising with your family can be fun.

 

2.               Eat Well

•        Eat six servings of rice, bread, cereal, or noodles every day.

•        Eat five fruits and vegetables every day.

•        Eat moderate amounts of meats and low-fat dairy foods.

•        Eat less fat, sugar, and salt.

 

3.               Be Safe

•        Use seat belts. Put small children in car seats and in the backseat.

•        Keep guns locked up and unloaded. Store ammunition in a secret place.

•        Keep medicines and poisons away from children.

•        Keep walking areas clear so people won’t trip and fall.

•        Use smoke detectors in your home.

 

4.               Immunize

•        Talk with your doctor about what shots your family needs.

•        Children need most of their shots by age two.

•        Adults and older people need some shots, too.

 

5.               Get Regular Checkups

•        Find a family doctor or health care provider.

•        Remember, you and your doctor are partners. Ask questions if you don’t understand.

 

6.               Be Tobacco Free

•        No cigarettes. No spitting or chewing tobacco.

•        You will breathe better, look better, smell better, and you will have more money in your pocket!

 

7.               Do Not Abuse Alcohol or Drugs

•        Alcohol and drugs play tricks with your mind.

•        Car accidents, liver disease, unplanned pregnancies, and family violence are only some of the things that can happen when you abuse alcohol or drugs.

 

8.               Manage Stress

•        Find time to relax every day. Some ideas to try include taking a quiet walk or a warm bath, spending time with friends, crying sometimes, and laughing—it’s free medicine.

•        If you feel you have too much stress to handle, talk with a pastor, a teacher, a counselor, or a doctor.

 

9.               Practice Peace

•        Respect every person’s life. See the special gifts in each person. Share your feelings. Be honest, yet kind. Be gentle with others. Settle arguments without violence.

 

10.         Respect Yourself and Your Family

•        You are special. Feel good about what you and your family do well. Build on your strengths. Choose friends who will help you be a good person. Take time to nourish your spirit.
