Whole Grains
Whole grains hold some valuable antioxidants not found in fruits and vegetables. They also contain B vitamins, vitamin E, magnesium, iron and fibre. It is recommended that you have 3 to 5 servings of whole grains a day. To include more servings of whole grains in your diet, try to use whole-wheat flour in your recipes instead of white flour. Look for the word "whole" when purchasing packaged foods such as cereals, biscuits, pasta and breads. In addition, try adding wild rice, brown rice, or barley in your soup to increase whole grain intake. |

Move More!
Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or lifts. Walk your dog; chase your kids, mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs is not only a fitness tool, it's a stress buster. Think 'move' in small increments of time. It doesn't have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or kung fu. But that's great when you're up to it. Meanwhile, move more. Thought for the day: Cha, Cha, Cha?. Then do it! |
