Healthy Habits for Good Health
Healthy Habits start with eating a balanced diet and making other lifestyle changes. Some of the things you can do to enhance your health include:
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- Move more. Don't just sit around and be a couch potato.
- Eat a variety of foods. Not just meat and potatoes.
- Fill half of your plate with vegetables and fruits.
- Control your intake of sugars, salt and sodium.
- Choose fat-free or low-fat milk products.
- Include more whole grains, fish, beans and nuts in your diet.
- Put more color into your meats. There is more than just "red" meat.
Most fruits and vegetables are naturally low in calories and provide essential nutrients and dietary fiber that may protect you from chronic diseases. Mix up your diet and enjoy all nature has to offer...to your good health.
