1. Use alcohol in moderation.
When it comes to alcohol consumption, moderation is one of the most important ways to keep a healthy body. Women of all ages and men older than 65 should have no more than one drink a day, while men under 65 can have up to two drinks a day. Moderate drinking can help decrease the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, and stroke.A single drink is equivalent to 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of liqueur.
