Tips for Healthy Living

Hi,
It is Christmas season,a time to wine and dine.
It is time again to watch our habits. Here are tips to help you
stay healthy even after the season:

Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage).
Dairy products such as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat versions.
Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and sauces should be eaten in limited amounts.
Most are available in lower fat versions such as substitute butter, fat free cheeses and mayonnaise.
Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body.
Climb stairs if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your dog; chase your kids; toss balls with friends, mow the lawn. Anything that moves your limbs, is not only a fitness tool, it is a stress buster.
It does not have to be an hour in the gym or a 45-minute aerobic dance class or kickboxing. However, that is great when you are up to it.
Meanwhile, move more and keep fit so that you can celebrate more Christams
