       A healthy lifestyle can help you thrive throughout your life.
       Making healthy choices isn't always easy, however. It can be
       hard to find the time and energy to exercise regularly or
       prepare healthy meals. However, your efforts will pay off in
       many ways, and for the rest of your life.
       Steps you can take:
       Be physically active for 30 minutes most days of the week. Break
       this up into three 10-minute sessions when pressed for time.
       Healthy movement may include walking, sports, dancing, yoga,
       running or other activities you enjoy.
       Eat a well-balanced, low-fat diet with lots of fruits,
       vegetables and whole grains. Choose a diet that's low in
       saturated fat and cholesterol, and moderate in sugar, salt and
       total fat.
       Avoid injury by wearing seatbelts and bike helmets, using smoke
       and carbon monoxide detectors in the home, and using street
       smarts when walking alone. If you own a gun, recognize the
       dangers of having a gun in your home. Use safety precautions at
       all times.
       Don't smoke, or quit if you do. Ask your health care provider
       for help. UCSF's Tobacco Education Center offers smoking
       cessation and relapse prevention classes as well as doctor
       consultations for smokers trying to quit.
       Drink in moderation if you drink alcohol. Never drink before or
       while driving, or when pregnant.
       Ask someone you trust for help if you think you might be
       addicted to drugs or alcohol.
       Help prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV/AIDS
       by using condoms every time you have sexual contact. Condoms
       aren't 100 percent foolproof, so discuss STI screening with your
       provider. Birth control methods other than condoms, such as
       pills and implants, won't protect you from STIs or HIV.
       Brush your teeth after meals with a soft or medium bristled
       toothbrush. Also brush after drinking and before going to bed.
       Use dental floss daily.
       Stay out of the sun, especially between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. when
       the sun's harmful rays are strongest. You are not protected if
       it is cloudy or if you are in the water — harmful rays pass
       through both. Use a broad spectrum sunscreen that guards against
       both UVA and UVB rays, with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15
       or higher. Select sunglasses that block 99 to 100 percent of the
       sun's rays.
