And, most importantly, it's about taking steps to improve your physical and
mental health:

·    Visit a health care professional to receive regular checkups and
preventive screenings.

·    Get active.

·    Eat healthy.

·    Pay attention to mental health, including getting enough sleep and
managing stress.

·    Avoid unhealthy behaviors, such as smoking, texting while driving, and
not wearing a seatbelt or bicycle helmet.
