Keep Moving
One of the best practices for good overall health is regular exercise. To enjoy the benefits, you need to schedule exercise as part of your daily routine. The following table from the Centers for Disease Control shows the types of activities you can perform for 30 minutes a day, five days a week. Benefits include lower risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and depression. Physically active adults also sleep better and have a better quality of life.

Pack and Go
Be prepared for any emergency, even when you’re on the go. Keep a backpack full of the following items in a handy location so you can grab it on your way out the door.
· List of medications and allergies
· Required personal items, such as glasses
Reduce Screen Time
Disconnecting from your phone and other electronic devices once in a while benefits your health. Here are four reasons to reduce your screen time:
Your body needs a break. Using a cell phone without a break is linked to neck, back, and shoulder pain. Overuse injuries include thumb tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Phones collect germs. Your phone goes everywhere you go and picks up viruses and bacteria along the way.
Phones interfere with concentration. Having your phone and its attractive apps within reach makes it hard to concentrate when you need to get something done.

Even 15 minutes can make a difference in your physical and mental health. It only takes that long to eat a healthy breakfast, which is the key to having energy throughout the day. Find 15 minutes to relax as you breathe deeply and stretch, and be sure to take a break to laugh out loud.
