Having a healthy lifestyle isn’t just about staying out of the sun (or out of a tanning bed). Here are some simple tips to help Shawnas participate in a healthier life:
Eat Right Corn nuts and jalapeno poppers are not a suitable meal. Eating a balanced, nutritious diet can help you get back in to your acid-washed jeans and fringed Styx crop top that you haven’t been able to put on since ’97.
Don’t Smoke Smoking increases your risk of lung cancer, heart disease, and running into your ex, Rick, outside the 7-11. Besides, smoking can turn your remaining teeth brown. Above all, never smoke while pregnant as it is very harmful for your unborn children. Don’t forget how Tammy turned out.
Limit Alcohol Use Alcohol can raise your risk of liver disease, cancer, and the likelihood that you’ll have promiscuous sex with Darryl’s cousin again. Drinking more than four drinks in a row is considered binge drinking for a woman. Note: if you are drinking directly from a bottle of Malibu, that does not count as just one drink.
Practice Injury Prevention Make sure to check under your trailer on a regular basis for evidence of rodents, fire hazards, and your brother Kevin who might try to cook meth under there again.
