Tips for a healthier you this year!

Happy New Year! Here is a quick top ten tips list to get you started this year.

1. Eat less, Move more.
2. Stop starving yourself, please.
3. Diets don't work. It's all about a lifestyle transition. Are you ready??
4. Find the nutrition in your food! Ask yourself, "where's my veggies, fruits, low-fat dairy, whole grains?"
5. Limit trans fat (AkA hydrogenated oils--look at the ingredients list)
6. Eat whole grains!
7. If edible eat clean, raw produce. Cooking breaks down some essential nutrients.
8. Drink water, water, water!! Put down the sodas!!!
9. Step away from the salt shaker! Look to herbs and spices without added salt to flavor foods. Use this reference sheet for guidance.
10. Lastly, start your day with a moment of silence and meditation. Pray and allow God to hear your health goals so the He may guide you this year.

Can you choose just ONE of the above and set a realistic goal for 2015?
