From our Health Office:

It's a New Year and many people make

New Year's resolutions, especially

in the area of weight loss. Here are

some health tips to help you succeed

if weight loss is a goal for you or

your family.

1. Keep a daily journal of your di-

et. Journals help you observe what you've been eating and

help you stay accountable and on track.

2. Have a weight loss partner. Having a family member or

friend help you stay on track can be fun and helpful.

3. Try a new exercise routine that you know you will do.

If you enjoy the exercise, such as walking or riding a

bike, you are more likely to do it. If you walk at least

10,000 steps per day (you can purchase an inexpensive pe-

dometer), you are more likely to lose weight.

4. Use the Clock method to help with portion control. Di-

vide your dinner plate into a clock by quarters. One half

of the plate should contain green or yellow vegetables,

1/4 of your plate can be a protein (lean meats: beef,

fish, poultry, or pork), 1/4 of your plate should be a

whole grain (whole wheat bread, pasta or brown rice).

People who eat whole grains usually have smaller waist

measurements. You can also add a small cup of fruit to

your dinner plate. Keep track of beverages and use skim

or low fat milk and avoid drinks high in sugar.

5. Avoid fried foods and saturated fats. Olive oil and

Canola oil are healthier choices.

6. Try a new healthy food choice at least once a week and

allow your taste buds time to adapt (it takes about 15

bites of a new food to adapt to the change in taste).

Adding herbs and spices helps food taste great, especial-

ly if one is reducing saturated fats.

7. Active parents make for active, healthy and happy

children.

Also, the flu is widespread. Please wash your hands

for at least 20 seconds and often to prevent illness

this flu season. Good luck and stay healthy!
