Safe Tips Healthy Live



Some general health tips to keep in mind:



If you are sexually active, practice safer sex and get tested for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). If you are sexually active with men, take some time to understand the risks of pregnancy, and the contraceptive options that are available.



To maintain a natural body weight and prevent the development of a preoccupation with food, avoid dieting.



Take the opportunity to boost bone health while you can still add to your bone density. Paying attention to bone health can prevent osteoporosis—both now and in the future.



Limit your consumption of alcohol and other drugs.
