Recommendations from the Office on Women’s Health:

• Visit a doctor or nurse for a well-woman visit (checkup), preventive screenings, and vaccines.
• Get active.
• Eat healthy.
• Pay attention to mental health, including getting enough sleep and managing stress.
• Practice safe behaviors, such as quitting smoking, not texting while driving, and taking steps to protect yourself from sexually transmitted infections.
