We’re coming up on one of my favorite observances of the year — National Women’s Health Week. I love this week because it’s for every woman, no matter her age or stage in life. It’s about being the healthiest version of yourself by making small tweaks to improve your health. I know that’s true for me.

Will you join me in the National Women’s Health Week celebration? This year, it kicks off on May 8, and is celebrated through May 14, 2016. At the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women’s Health, our goal is to help all women understand what steps they can take for better health at every age. So whether you’re in your 20s or 90s, here are some simple things you can do for a healthier you:

• Visit a doctor or nurse for a well-woman visit. A well-woman visit is a chance to check in with your doctor about where you are with your health and where you’d like to be. At the checkup, make sure you talk about the preventive screenings and immunizations you may need based on your age, health habits, risk factors, and family history. Get the conversation started at your next well-woman visit by printing out our age-specific lists.

• Get active. I know this is easier said than done, especially when you look at the numbers: fewer than 50% of us are getting enough aerobic activity and even less (20%) are getting the muscle-strengthening activity we need. We encourage women to get at least 30 minutes of physical activity most days. The good news is that you can spread it out over the day. For example, take a brisk walk at lunchtime, take an extra few laps around the grocery store aisles, then dance to music while you’re cooking or doing chores around the house. The minutes will start to add up! Find more ideas on getting active.

• Eat healthy. A healthy diet is one of the best things you can do for your health. It can reduce your risk for serious health problems, such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes. Did you know we make 200 decisions about food each day? That’s a lot of opportunities to take small steps toward a healthier diet. Try swapping your sugary drinks for water and pick fat-free or low-fat milk products for your morning coffee. Also, try to add just one fruit or vegetable to each meal.

• Pay attention to your mental health. Your mental health and physical health are closely connected. Taking care of your mental health can actually help you feel better physically. Our advice? Get plenty of sleep, manage your stress in healthy ways, and take time for yourself. Of course, those steps won’t help everyone. If you struggle with feelings of fear, dread, sadness, irritability, or anger, you’re not alone. Talk to your doctor about any mental health concerns you may have.

• Avoid unhealthy behaviors. To us, this means things like not smoking, putting down the phone when you drive, and always wearing a seatbelt or bicycle helmet. Making smart decisions like these can keep you — and others — safe.

• Take the pledge. As part of National Women’s Health Week, we’re asking women to challenge themselves to live healthier lives. Take our pledge and commit to taking at least one step for better health. See how many women across the country have already taken it!

I know this can sound like a lot of lifestyle changes, but it doesn’t have to be. Every day presents a new chance for you to make healthier decisions than you did the day before. Pick just one thing you can do today. Then do it again tomorrow. Eventually, it will become a habit and you can start to add other healthy changes into your routine. Are you in?
