1. DO NOT SMOKE

And one cigarette is too many. Smoking is the worst thing you can do to your health. Smoking is one of the biggest causes of death in the world, yet the most easily preventable cause of death – all that is needed is to stop smoking.

If you are a smoker or former smoker, your lungs are very likely loaded with toxins.

2. DO NOT SUNBEAT IN THE SOLARIUM

People who sunbathe in a solarium have a two and a half times greater risk of developing malignant skin cancer. In addition, the solarium promotes faster skin aging and the appearance of wrinkles. When you sunbathe under the natural sun, always lubricate your skin with a product with a protective factor.

3. EAT CHOCOLATE - IN MODERATION

You can eat whatever you want, but as long as you eat in moderation. Chocolate or ice cream will taste much better if you eat it once a week (eg as a reward after a whole week of healthy food) than if you eat it every day.

4. CONTROL CHOLESTEROL AND BLOOD SUGAR

Always be familiar with the basic numbers essential to health. This means that you regularly control your cholesterol and blood sugar levels. If you take care of these numbers, you will more easily know the state of your body and whether you need to introduce some changes in terms of diet and physical activity.

5. MOVE REGULARLY

Experts recommend 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week. This does not mean that you have to do intense training every time, and walking at a faster pace will have a positive effect on your physical and mental health, primarily on the health of your heart.

6. KNOW YOUR FAMILY HISTORY OF DISEASE

Take care of diseases that have existed in your family, especially serious diseases such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes and similar diseases. Knowing your family medical history will help you pay attention to certain possible health risks.

7. DRINK GREEN TEA

Green is even rich in antioxidants, substances essential for the health of the entire organism, and it also helps with weight loss. Reward your body with one or two cups of green tea every day.

8. DON'T DRINK Fizzy Drinks

If you can't seem to get rid of the need for soda, have a diet soda. Regular sodas are loaded with calories and sugar, which is why they make you fat, and the feeling of quenching your thirst is only temporary. The more soda you drink, the more you will need more, reports Zpodjena.

9. CHECK YOURSELF REGULARLY WITH A DOCTOR

Annual pap smears and breast exams are very important for women of all ages.

"Nowadays, no woman should die from ovarian cancer, because cancer can be prevented or cured with regular examinations. "Women are recommended to perform a breast self-examination once a month, preferably two or three days after the end of menstruation, and after the age of 40 to have a mammogram once a year," say doctors.

10. AVOID WHITE CARBOHYDRATES

The more colorful your plate, the better. Green, red, yellow food is always welcome, and you don't have to cut out carbohydrates completely. Just choose a healthier option and replace white rice, white bread and white pasta, which have almost no nutritional value, with whole grains and carbohydrates that do not make you fat.
