• not smoking
• maintaining a healthy weight
• doing at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day
• eating a healthy diet high in fruit, vegetables and whole grains, and low in red meat, saturated fats and sugar
• not drinking too much alcohol – current UK guidance recommends no more than 14 units a week for men and women
