Diet does not stand alone in the quest for good health.
Physical activity plays a very important role as well.
Choosing healthy foods and becoming more physically active will help you look better, feel more fit, improve your overall health, and reduce your risk for many chronic diseases. The average American spends 23 hours a week watching TV or one day out of seven. Remember to be realistic. According to the 1995 National Institutes of Health Consensus Statement on Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Health, adults and children should set long-term goals to accumulate at least 30 minutes or more of moderate intensity physical activity on most, or preferably all, days of the week. Walk 15 minutes instead of reading or playing computer games.
