Barbie's Health Tips for Women 50 and over

1. Don't smoke. It increases your risk for all sorts of health problems, especially cancer and cardiovascular disease. Plus it makes your skin yellow and gives you wrinkles and bad breath.

2. If you drink alcohol, drink  in moderation. Many people are unaware that alcohol increases risk for multiple cancers.

3. Stay active. Barbie works toward getting 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week. As well as keeping her stiff joints limber, the activity decreases her stress levels.

4. Eat a well-balanced diet. 

5. Get screened for breast (mammogram), cervical (Pap smear) and colon cancer (FOBT or colonoscopy) as per your doctor's recommendation. 

6. See your doctor, optometrist and dentist regularly. Follow their recommendations.

7. Have fun.
