Three Steps to Better Health

1
Start a weekly exercise regimen that includes moderately intense or vigorous activity.

Brisk walks, tennis, swimming hiking or exercise classes are a great way to stay active.

 

 

2
Eat less of the foods that are high in fat and cholesterol.

Poor diet is a leading cause of obesity. Eliminating those foods that are low in nutrition and high in fat is a crucial component to a healthy lifestyle.

 

 

3
Eating more of the foods that have healthy benefits can have a huge impact.

You don’t have to feel like you’re starving to start loosing weight. Simply changing what you eat can make all the difference.
