7 tips for healthy gay living

1. Get Checked

When was your last HIV test? Not knowing your HIV status only prolongs the inevitable. You also put yourself and others at risk. Make quarterly doctor appointments and discuss your health concerns.

2. Join a Gym

3. Curb Your Drinking

Replace regular cola mixers with diet or drink low calorie beers like Michelob Ultra or Amstel Light.

4. Keep the Kick, Lose the Fat

Try a sugar-free syrup in your latte or low-fat milk instead of heavy cream.
Also try an organic green tea.

5. Try a Little Yoga

6. Drop the Drag

I'm not asking our sisters in lights to hang up their dresses. We need to put out the cigarettes! Gays have a higher cancer risk than heterosexuals, so every puff could have life-changing consequences.

7. Practice Safer Sex

Make practicing safer sex easier by keeping condoms on you and near your intimate environments. Make tangible commitments that you won't have unprotected sex.
