There are many things you can do to help stay safe and healthy that don't take much time or effort. Take a few minutes each day to protect yourself and your family.

Being healthy and safe takes commitment, but it doesn't have to be time-consuming, painful, or boring. Most things are so simple and take so little time, that you'll wonder why you've been avoiding them. You can get big rewards just by taking small steps to prevent illness and injury.

You won't necessarily "see" the rewards, such as the extra pounds you don't gain, the high blood pressure you won't get, or the emergency room visit you'll avoid. That's a good thing!

Find out what you can do in five minutes or less to make a difference to your health and safety, and take action! Some things even take less than one minute. Here is a sample of things you can do to help protect yourself and your family:

• Wash hands

• Buckle up

• Test smoke alarms

• Eat healthy

• Take the stairs

Also, find out what things may take more than five minutes but are worth the time, including preventing falls and being prepared.

Take a few minutes to help make yourself and your family safer and healthier.
