KISS Nutrition - Keep It Super Simple
Real Nutrition: Healthy lifestyle changes happen over time, not overnight. Keep nutrition simple by choosing one change, learning more about it, and making it a part of your family's eating habits.
Real Life: If we try to sprint our way to a healthier lifestyle, we will undoubtedly tire and revert back to our old ways. Be realistic, and take a lifestyle inventory to identify habits and food choices that need improvement. Get started with these helpful tips, and make today a step toward a healthier you.
- Focus on one nutrition concern at a time, for example, choosing lean meat, lowfat milk, increasing calcium rich foods, or eating more whole grain foods.
- Add color! Buy fruits and vegetables with vibrant and distinct colors that indicate rich nutrient content.
- Identify problem areas in your diet, such as high calorie snacks, skipping breakfast, or empty calorie foods.
- Add 10 minute bursts of physical activity and work up to 30 minutes a day.
