Feeling Fit

A naturally beautiful woman radiates beauty from the inside to the outside.

Any activity that gets you to move more can improve your overall health. 

Walking, gardening, and dancing are all good for you. Making physical activity part of your daily life is the key to success!
Try to do at least 30 minutes of physical activity a day on most days of the week.

Your physical activities can be done in small time blocks that add up to 30 minutes a day. 

For starters MOVE MORE

• Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
• Walk all or part of the way to work.
• Take a short walk every day
  (walk around the block).
• Play actively with children.
• Dance along to three songs a day.

...and EAT BETTER

Try to drink a glass of water (8 ounces) several times a day,especially during and after exercise.

Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables! Include dark green leafy vegetables like collard greens and spinach several times a week.

They are very good sources of vitamins and minerals.

Choose several servings a day of foods made from whole grains, such as whole-wheat bread and whole-grain cereal.

Eat citrus fruits, melons, and berries often. They are high in vitamin C.

Choose skim or low-fat milk products most of the time.

Go easy on the fats and oils of butter, margarine, gravy, and salad dressing.

Trim the fat from meat; take the skin off of poultry.

Have cooked dry beans and peas from time to time instead of meat.
