You only get one body, the way you treat it today goes along way to determine your health in the long term. What if you were allowed to have just one vehicle your whole life? You'd have to take care of it, change the oil, filters, tires, decide what fuel source is best and a lot more. This might seem like the best comparison, but cars have easily replaceable parts.
These are a few health tips. I added some links so you could read more about your health.

1. Drink Water.

2. Hand washing is a life saving routine of the last century. https://globalhandwashing.org/about-handwashing/history-of-handwashing/

3. Antibiotics should be taken only when prescribed by your Doctor. They are not a magical cure for every pain in your body. Stick strictly to the dose, and completely you prescription. Misuse of antibiotics creates an Antibiotics Resistance apocalypse. https://www.nationaljewish.org/treatment-programs/medications/medicine-safety/antibiotics-use-and-misuse

4. Being skinny doesnt mean youre healthy.

5. Always let the doctor know (especially when asked) about all the parts you had removed, implants and drugs youre on.

11. Dont give honey to children below the ages of 1. https://www.poison.org/articles/2010-jun/dont-feed-honey-to-infants

12. Do not Use Soap douching water inside your vagina. You should wash your labia (the area around your vagina) instead. Just like your eyeballs, your vagina is self-cleansing, you dont wash your eyeballs. Washing it flushes out the good bacteria thats supposed to be there, which automatically gets replaced by bad bacteria (yeast infection). https://www.healthline.com healthWeb resultsHow to Clean Your Vagina and Vulva: 13 FAQs on Soaps, Scents, More - Healthline

16. Lifestyle Modification is the First line of treatment for most common diseases. If you knew the complications of diabetes, hypertension or most common disease, you take healthy lifestyle changes serious.

17. You often will feel normal (asymptomatic) with high blood pressure. 1/3 of people living with hypertension dont know it. Most people find out incidentally, during check ups. Dont wait until it gives you symptoms you totally don't want to go through. https://www.webmd.com/hypertension-high-blood-pressure/guide/hypertension-symptoms-high-blood-pressure

19. Teeth are considered as luxury bones and must be treated golden. Brushing your teeth twice daily would save you thousands of dollars in the future.

20. The immune system is an incredibly complex organization of cells that communicates readily to destroy anything deemed hostile within the body. The immune system explains why/how vaccines are supposed/designed to work, why allergies complications differs, and why transfusions/transplants procedures are hard to successfully pull off.

21. Allergies may fade out overtime. When exposed to a non-threatening level of an allergy for a long enough time, the body decides that it's not really a threat anymore.

22. Get Sleep. Psychosis could result from not having slept over a long period of time. A few extra hours of sleep might be the solution to a psychological disturbance.
