Nutrition

Half your plate fruits and vegetables. That's the goal.

  • Choose whole grains over refined.
  • Limit added sugars and ultra-processed foods.
  • Swap soda for water.

Exercise

30 minutes a day, five days a week.

  • Start with a 20-minute walk, three times a week.
  • Mix cardio with simple bodyweight strength work.
  • No gym needed — walking counts.

Mental wellness

Treat it like physical health — daily, not just in a crisis.

  • 5–10 minutes of breathing or mindfulness daily.
  • Limit social media before bed.
  • Call or text 988 any time — free, 24/7.

Preventive care

Catch problems early — most visits are free or sliding-scale.

  • Get an annual physical even when you feel fine.
  • Stay current on flu, COVID-19, and Tdap vaccines.
  • Ask which screenings apply to your age.

Hydration

About 8 cups (64 oz) of water a day.

  • Carry a refillable bottle.
  • Eat water-rich foods like cucumber and watermelon.
  • Cut back on caffeine and alcohol.

Sleep

7–9 hours a night. Not a luxury.

  • Keep the same sleep and wake times, including weekends.
  • No screens 30 minutes before bed.
  • Keep the room cool, dark, and quiet.
