Before we greet 2016, let’s recap some healthy memories of 2015.
Here is a recap of the healthy tips shared with The Catoctin Banner readers this year.
Take an evaluation of your health. Get a complete physical. Decide what changes are necessary to improve your health. Make a plan.
American Heart Month encourages Americans to recognize heart disease. A heart-healthy lifestyle should include daily exercise, eating a balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding tobacco use, and moderating alcohol consumption.
Learn to choose a healthy frozen meal by reading the nutritional label. Processed foods are generally higher in saturated fats and sodium.
Environmental Nutrition is a newsletter of food, nutrition, and health. Nutrition Action Healthletter is published by The Center for Science in the Public Interest. Both are excellent resources.
The Blue Zones Solution: Eating and Living Like the World’s Healthiest People is authored by Dan Buettner. He shares the most important longevity-boosting habits of centenarians.
Remember to protect your skin by applying UVA/UVB sun block. Have an annual full-body skin exam by a dermatologist.
Exchange a high-caloric snack for a vegetable or fresh fruit. Freshly picked fruits and vegetables taste the best and have the highest nutrition.
Healthy aging is possible! Exercising, eating well, spirituality and good sleep have positive effects on physical health.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is now taking steps to remove trans fat from foods. Partially hydrogenated oil is the source of artificial trans fat.
You can add flavor to food preparation without the salt shaker. Citrus fruits offer a bold array of flavor.
People consume an average of 200 more calories a day when dining out. Remember, empty calories can be consumed via sugar-sweetened beverages. Reduce your caloric intake by a home-cooked meal. Family and nutrition make a great combination.
Being committed to living a healthy lifestyle is a choice. Year 2016 awaits your choice—make it a good one!
