The Mouth and private parts

 Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah was asked about that for which people are admitted into Paradise the most, so he said: 
“Taqwa of Allah, and good character.” And he was asked about that for which people are admitted into the Fire the most, and he said: ” The mouth and the private parts.”

Shade of Charity

Sayyiduna ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Amir رضي الله عنه narrates: Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

“On the Day of Qiyamah, people will be in the shade of the charity [they gave], until it is time for accountability.

(Musnad Ahmad, vol. 4 pg. 148)

Abul Khayr, one of the narrators of this Hadith, would ensure that he gave charity every day, even if be a small food item.

Abstain from Lies & haraam

Sayyiduna_ Abu Hurayrah 
رضى الله تعالى عنه 
narrates that 
رسول الله صلى الله تعالى عليه وسلم
said:

That person who does not abstain from speaking lies and acting upon it, certainly ALLAH TA'ALA does not have any need, in that he leaves out his food and his drink

(Bukhari)

There is no divine reward for the fasting person, who indulges in lies, even though he will be absolved of the compulsion of the fast. 

Every sinful utterance is included, such as false testimony, backbiting, slandering, vulgar language, futile conversation, arguing, etc.

Basically, we need to abstain from everything ALLAH TA'ALA has forbidden.
