As the days get shorter and cooler and the leaves change color, use these 12 healthy strategies to help prevent chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
Get Your Screenings
Visit your doctor regularly
for preventive services
like cancer and
diabetes screenings.
Wash Your Hands
Wash your hands with soap
and clean running water for 20 seconds.
Get Your Flu Shot
An annual flu vaccine is the
best way to protect
against flu, especially
for cancer survivors.
CLEAN HANDS SAVE LIVES.
Prevent the spread of germs.
Teach your kids the five handwashing steps—wet, lather, scrub, rinse, and dry—and the key times to wash hands, such as after using the bathroom
or before eating.
Practice Social
Distancing
Stay at least 6 feet from
other people who are not
from your household in
both indoor and outdoor spaces.
Rethink Your Drink
Substitute water for
sugary or alcoholic
drinks to reduce
calories and stay safe.
Move More, Sit Less
Adults need at least 150
minutes of moderate-
intensity aerobic activity
every week, plus muscle-
strengthening activities
at least 2 days a week.
Eat Healthy
Delicious fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, and low-fat dairy products make health meals.
