(1) Don’t smoke.
(2) Eat a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and low in saturated fat.
(3) Exercise regularly.
(4) Maintain a healthy weight.
(5) Control your blood pressure.
(6) If you drink alcohol, drink only in moderation.
(7) Get adequate sleep.
(8) Take steps to avoid infection, such as washing your hands frequently and cooking meats thoroughly.
