The Holidays are Coming! Prepare Yourself...

Your healthy weight is well worth the effort. It reduces your risk of serious health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and diabetes. To maintain a healthy weight:

1. Embrace healthy eating by choosing a variety of nutrient-rich foods, including fruits, vegetables and whole grains and small amounts of energy-dense foods like olive oil, nuts and dried fruits.

2. Exercise. Aim for 30 to 60 minutes of moderately intense activity daily.

3. Set action goals focused on specific healthy activities such as improving muscle tone through strength training or starting a daily food and activity diary. from Mayo Clinic.com
