Small changes in your eating style can make big differences in your overall health. By grocery shopping aimlessly or impulsively, youmight bypass foods that can add variety and needed nutrients. Also, expand your horizons and try new foods. Get to know the Food Guide Pyramid. It is a flexible frameworkthat allows you to eat healthfully while enjoying a variety of foods.
Portion control is another important tool for achieving good nutrition.
Regular physical activity is also important to overall health. However, only 43 percent say they make an effort to get regular physical activity. Experts note that some activity is better than none and regular physical activity doesn't have to be rigorous. Choose enjoyable activities that you can do on a regular basis. If you have any questions about nutrition, the Food Guide Pyramid or National Nutrition Month, please call Clearwater County Memorial Hospital 694-6501.
