Stay Active
Regular physical activity is essential as you age. It helps you maintain a normal weight, reduce stress and the risk of chronic diseases, and improves balance, flexibility, and mental health.
The CDC recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise weekly. This can be easier to do if you set 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Some simple options include:
Walking, swimming, or cycling to promote heart health.
Lifting weights or using resistance bands to build muscle.
Practicing yoga and stretching to enhance flexibility and reduce the risk of falling.

Some Days You’re Doing Your Best, Even If It Doesn’t Look Like It

Not every healthy day looks the same. Some days you eat well, move your body, feel motivated. Other days you just get through work, come home tired, and sit quietly doing nothing — and that’s still okay.

Health isn’t about being perfect every day. It’s about showing up in whatever way you can. Drinking water when you remember. Taking a short walk when your head feels heavy. Choosing rest when your body asks for it.

Progress doesn’t always look active. Sometimes it looks like patience. And sometimes, just surviving the day is enough.

Support your s*xual health
Part of taking care of yourself is taking care of your s*xual health. That includes embracing one’s own s*xuality, communicating respectfully with partners as well as practicing safe s*x.

Have regular check-ups
Regular check-ups can help find health problems before they start. Health professionals can help find and diagnose health issues early, when your chances for treatment and cure are better. Go to your nearest health facility to check out the health services, screenings and treatment that are accessible to you.

Clean your hands properly
Hand hygiene is critical not only for health workers but for everyone. Clean hands can prevent the spread of infectious illnesses. You should handwash using soap and water when your hands are visibly soiled or handrub using an alcohol-based product.

Take antibiotics only as prescribed
Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest public health threats in our generation. When antibiotics lose their power, bacterial infections become harder to treat, leading to higher medical costs, prolonged hospital stays, and increased mortality. Antibiotics are losing their power because of misuse and overuse in humans and animals. Make sure you only take antibiotics if prescribed by a qualified health professional. And once prescribed, complete the treatment days as instructed. Never share antibiotics.

Follow traffic laws
Road crashes claim over one million lives around the world and millions more are injured. Road traffic injuries are preventable through a variety of measures implemented by the government such as strong legislation and enforcement, safer infrastructure and vehicle standards, and improved post-crash care. You yourself can also prevent road crashes by ensuring that you follow traffic laws such as using the seatbelt for adults and child restraint for your kids, wearing a helmet when riding a motorcycle or bicycle, not drinking and driving, and not using your mobile phone while driving.

💧 Hydration: The Foundation of Your Energy

Feeling tired, foggy, or moody? Sometimes, your body isn’t asking for rest — it’s asking for water. Every system in your body depends on hydration: your brain to think clearly, your muscles to perform, and your skin to stay healthy and fresh.

Start your day with a glass of water before anything else. Keep a bottle nearby and take sips throughout the day. It’s the easiest, most natural way to boost your energy and keep your body in balance.

Check your blood pressure regularly
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is called a “silent killer”. This is because many people who have hypertension may not be aware of the problem as it may not have any symptoms. If left uncontrolled, hypertension can lead to heart, brain, kidney and other diseases. Have your blood pressure checked regularly by a health worker so you know your numbers. If your blood pressure is high, get the advice of a health worker. This is vital in the prevention and control of hypertension.

Be active
Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure. This includes exercise and activities undertaken while working, playing, carrying out household chores, travelling, and engaging in recreational pursuits. The amount of physical activity you need depends on your age group but adults aged 18-64 years should do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity throughout the week. Increase moderate-intensity physical activity to 300 minutes per week for additional health benefits.

Reduce intake of harmful fats
Fats consumed should be less than 30% of your total energy intake. This will help prevent unhealthy weight gain and NCDs. There are different types of fats, but unsaturated fats are preferable over saturated fats and trans-fats. WHO recommends reducing saturated fats to less than 10% of total energy intake; reducing trans-fats to less than 1% of total energy intake; and replacing both saturated fats and trans-fats with unsaturated fats.
The preferable unsaturated fats are found in fish, avocado and nuts, and in sunflower, soybean, canola and olive oils; saturated fats are found in fatty meat, butter, palm and coconut oil, cream, cheese, ghee and lard; and trans-fats are found in baked and fried foods, and pre-packaged snacks and foods, such as frozen pizza, cookies, biscuits, and cooking oils and spreads.

Eat lots of fruit and veg
It's recommended that you eat at least 5 portions of a variety of fruit and veg every day. They can be fresh, frozen, canned, dried or juiced.
Getting your 5 A Day is easier than it sounds. Why not chop a banana over your breakfast cereal, or swap your usual mid-morning snack for a piece of fresh fruit?
A portion of fresh, canned or frozen fruit and vegetables is 80g. A portion of dried fruit (which should be kept to mealtimes) is 30g.
A 150ml glass of fruit juice, vegetable juice or smoothie also counts as 1 portion, but limit the amount you have to no more than 1 glass a day as these drinks are sugary and can damage your teeth.
