DO NOT SMOKE: if you have never smoked, don’t start. If you do smoke, quit. You will increase your life by 5 years for every year you are smoke free.
Enjoy a balanced, nutritious diet. Limit fat intake to between 15% and 30% of your total number of daily calories.
Exercise regularly, 20 minutes 3-4 times per week, or a minimum of a brisk walk daily.
Moderate your intake of alcohol. Guidelines by Health Canada suggest limits of two drinks per day…either 12 oz. Beer, or 5 oz. Wine or 1.5 oz. Spirits.
Limit your intake of salt and caffeine. (No more than the equivalent of four regular cups of coffee per day.)
