1. MyPyramid.gov offers lots of steps, tips and advice to help you eat healthfully and be physically active. Because your path is unique, you choose the steps that are right for YOU. After all, this is your personal journey!
ReplyDelete2. At sandwich shops, ask for leaner cuts and smaller amounts of roast beef,
turkey or ham; extra lettuce and tomato; and whole-wheat, oatmeal or
rye bread. this will help to be a healthier you.
3. Finding your right balance between food and physical activity is an important step toward good health. The good news is you don’t have to join a gym or be a trained athlete to benefit from physical activity. All the moves you
make add up—just get moving.
4. Mix it up. Walk one day, swim the next. On
weekends, bike, dance or play basketball.You’ll get fit while you have fun.
5. Park once, shop twice. When you’re at a large shopping plaza, park centrally and walk to all your destinations rather than driving to each new location. These are fun ways to lose weight.
6. Play it safe with your food.
Separate raw, cooked and
ready-to-eat foods while shopping,
preparing or storing. Wash hands and
surfaces often. Cook to proper temperatures.
Refrigerate promptly. Helps protect you from E.coli.
7. Go ahead and find your right balance between what you eat and the physical activity you do
over several days. No need to worry about just
one meal or one day.
8. Walk the dog, don’t just watch the
dog walk. That is exercising while doing a chore.
9. Make small changes over time in what you
eat and the level of activity you do.
After all, small steps often work better
than giant leaps. like cut back on the pop or candy.
10. Expand your tastes to enjoy a variety of foods and physical activities. Don't be so picky try some broccoli if you like cauliflower or an apple if your used to oranges. Try track if your used to softball. Cross country if your used to Volleyball.

1- In April 2005, USDA released the MyPyramid food guidance system. Along with the new MyPyramid symbol, the system provides many options to help Americans make healthy food choices and to be active every day.
ReplyDelete2-Make half your grains whole. Choose whole-grain foods, such
as whole-wheat bread, oatmeal, brown rice, and lowfat popcorn, more
often
3-Vary your veggies. Go dark green and orange with your
vegetables—eat spinach, broccoli, carrots, and sweet potatoes.
4-Focus on fruits. Eat them at meals, and at snack time, too.
Choose fresh, frozen, canned, or dried, and go easy on the fruit juice.
5-Get your calcium-rich foods. To build strong bones serve
lowfat and fat-free milk and other milk products several times a day.
6-Go lean with protein. Eat lean or lowfat meat, chicken, turkey,
and fish. Also, change your tune with more dry beans and peas. Add
chick peas, nuts, or seeds to a salad; pinto beans to a burrito; or kidney
beans to soup.
7-Change your oil. We all need oil. Get yours from fish, nuts, and
liquid oils such as corn, soybean, canola, and olive oil.
8-Don’t sugarcoat it. Choose foods and beverages that do not have
sugar and caloric sweeteners as one of the first ingredients. Added
sugars contribute calories with few, if any, nutrients.
9-Set a good example. Be active and get your family to join you.
Have fun together. Play with the kids or pets. Go for a walk, tumble in
the leaves, or play catch.
10-Take the President’s Challenge as a family. Track your
individual physical activities together and earn awards for active
lifestyles at www.presidentschallenge.org.
