2-Be physically active as part of everyday life
3-Limit consumption of "energy-dense foods," foods that are high in calories, fat and sugar. Avoid sugary drinks.
4-Eat mostly foods of plant origin, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans
5-Limit intake of red meat and avoid processed meat
6-Limit alcoholic drinks to one per day for women, two per day for men
