Risky behaviors can take years off your life and endanger those around you. For a longer, healthier life, use these tips:

• Quit smoking or don’t start. It’s the best thing you can do for your health.
• Wear a bicycle helmet and buckle up — always!
• Practice safer sex every time you have sex.
• Don’t text and drive. Using or reaching for your phone while driving triples your chances of getting in a crash.
