Follow these tips to help prevent chronic disease and have a #HealthySummer.

1 Move More, Sit Less!

Get at least 150 minutes of aerobic physical activity every week. Physical activity has immediate benefits for your health: better sleep and reduced anxiety are two.

2 Wear Sunscreen & Insect Repellent

Use shade, wide-brimmed hats, clothing that covers, and broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 15 for sun protection.

Use insect repellent and wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants to prevent mosquito bites and ticks.

Tip – Apply sunscreen before insect repellent. After you come indoors, check your clothing, body, and pets for ticks. Reapply sunscreen after 2 hours and after swimming, sweating, or toweling off.
