## What can you do to take charge of your health?

See a doctor for regular checkups even if you feel healthy. Some diseases and health conditions don’t have symptoms at first. Plus, seeing a doctor will give you a chance to learn more about your health. Here are some more things you can do to take charge of your health:
                - Eat healthy and get active.
                - If you drink alcohol, drink only in moderation.
                - Quit smoking.
                - Know your family’s health history.
                - Get screening tests to check for health problems before you have symptoms.
                - Make sure you’re up to date on your vaccinations.
