# Health

Don't smoke.

Medical bills can be very expensive, so take care of your health and prevent
problems from developing in the first place.

Buy generic drugs instead of branded ones.

Don't drink alcohol.

Don't buy non-stick cookware.

Don't buy or use cutting boards made of plastic.  Instead, use cutting boards
made of wood.

Don't buy homeopathic products.

Don't waste time and money watching spectator sports: your health won't improve
by sitting in front of a TV screen eating junk food.  A much better idea is to
practice some sport yourself (as long as you don't have health conditions that
prevent you from doing physical activity).

Always read package inserts before taking new prescription drugs.

Don't follow a fruitarian diet.  Fruits alone don't have all the nutrients
needed by the human body.  Instead, follow a well-balanced vegan diet that
includes fruits, vegetables, legumes, cereals, mushrooms, nuts and seeds. 

Don't use a microwave oven to heat any food or drink in a plastic container.
Use a glass or ceramic container instead.
