For your body's health, get care when you are sick and get medical help when needed, get immunizations, and get regular check-ups or annual physical exams. Immunizations are needed to prevent getting illnesses from bacteria and viruses. Take medicine as directed by your doctor. Use hygiene like washing your hands and bathing. Hygiene means to use cleanliness to protect against disease. Brushing your teeth, flossing, and regular dental check-ups are also important for good health.
For a healthy mind, find a quiet time for yourself and relax. Reduce stress. Take time to play or do an activity you enjoy. Being kind to yourself and others helps you feel happy and healthy. Humor and laughter are good for your health.
