THERE ARE SOME TIPS HOW TO STAY HEALTHY
Will the habits I have now really make a difference when I'm older?
Yes, 65% of all deaths in adults are caused by heart disease, cancer and stroke. In many cases, these diseases were preventable. Many of the behaviors that cause these diseases begin at a young age. For example, if you use tobacco as a teenager, you're more likely to get heart disease, cancer or stroke when you're an adult.
What can I do now to keep myself healthy?
- Avoid using any type of tobacco product. Try not to breathe second hand cigarette smoke.
- Get regular exercise.
- Eat a healthy diet.
- Always use your seat belt.
- Don't drink and drive. Don't get into a car with a driver who has been drinking alcohol or using drugs.
- Wear protective headgear, such as motorcycle or bike helmets, when participating in sports.
- Never swim alone.
- Talk to your parents or your doctor if you're feeling really sad or if you're thinking about harming yourself.
- Avoid situations where violence or fighting may cause you to be physically injured.
- If you have sex, use condoms to avoid pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. (Remember, however, the "safest" sex is no sex.)
- See your doctor regularly.
