Eat Well

• ​Fill up on fruits and veggies
• Look for 100% whole wheat in the bread section, multi-grain or honey wheat is not the same!
• Swap out sweetened yogurt for plain and add your own sweeteners (honey, etc)  at home so you can control how much sugar goes in
• Go meatless one day a week
• Try out that sugar free Peanut Butter 
• Break the soda habit
• Drink more water
• Remember that the CDC recommended daily serving of alcohol is no more than 1 serving for women and 2 servings for men
  • ​1 serving is 5oz wine, 12 oz beer or 1.5oz of hard alcohol

Be Active
Adults need at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity exercise per week along with at least 2 days of muscle strengthening activities.* 
​
What does this look like?

• 30 minutes of brisk walking Monday-Friday. adding in a few sets of squats, push-ups, lunges and sit-ups on two of those days.
• 30 minute of vigorous exercise like jogging/running Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays, with muscle strengthening activities like squats, push-ups, lunges and sit-ups on Tuesday and Thursday.

As a bonus, go on a weekend hike or go out dancing on Friday night to switch it up!
