Here is a list of eight simple things you can do to become more healthy:
1. Stop smoking.
2. Engage in moderate intensity physical activity (for ≥ 30 minutes on at least 5, but preferably all, days of the week).
3. If you use alcohol: do so in moderation (maximum 2 alcoholic drinks per day for women and maximum 3 drinks per day for men).
4. Maintain or attain a healthy body weight (BMI <25kg/m²); obese patients (BMI >30 kg/m²) should try to lose 10-15% of their current body weight.
5. Limit your saturated fat intake (to a maximum of 10% of daily energy intake) and the intake of trans fatty acids (to a maximum of 1% of daily energy intake).
6. Consume sufficient amounts of fruits and vegetables (≥ 400 g/d).
7. Use sufficient fiber containing grain products, legumes, and/or nuts (≥3 U/d).
8. Reduce your salt intake (to maximal 2400 mg/day).
