Habits: Get started on good habits: regular exercise, a healthy diet low in simple sugars and high in vegetables, maintain a healthy weight, and be positive and social. Control your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Get regular screening evaluations by your physician, especially if you have a genetic predisposition and as you get older.
