Take Control of Your Health Journey

Your health is built by daily choices. Take action to make your health a priority — for yourself and for those who care about you.

Know Your Numbers

• Blood pressure — High blood pressure often has no symptoms. Get yours checked often to help detect your risk for heart disease and stroke before symptoms appear.
• Cholesterol and blood sugar — Regular testing can help you stay ahead of serious conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
• Body Mass Index (BMI) — Your BMI is a general gauge for identifying potential health risks associated with being underweight, overweight or obese.

See Your Doctor

• Don’t wait for a problem; schedule regular checkups to catch health issues early and keep you on track to stay well.
• Ask about screenings for prostate, testicular and colon cancer.
• Talk to your doctor about mental health. It’s just as important as physical health.

Build Healthy Habits

• Eat more whole foods and fewer processed foods to boost your energy, support your immune system and keep your body strong.
• Move your body. Aim for 30 minutes of activity most days.
• Get 7 to 9 hours of quality sleep.
• Cut back on alcohol and quit using tobacco.

Protect Your Mind

• Stress is real. Too much stress can wear down your body and mind, raising your risk for serious health problems.
• Practice mindfulness, journaling or therapy to help clear your mind, reduce stress and build emotional strength.
• Connect with others. Staying connected with friends and family boosts your mood, lowers stress and supports your overall health.
