Health Habits (NAPSA)—These healthy eating and exercise tips from eDiets.com can help you put a spring in yourstep: 1. Breakfast. Lighten up the most important mealof the day by switching to cold cereal with fresh berries and skim milk. Choose a low sugar, high fiber cereal. 2. Think fresh. Grocery stores are full of fresh foods; stay on the perimeter of the store, where the fresh foods are located. Avoid packaged, frozen foods and stay with fresh produce in season. 3. Dine outdoors. Instead of drive-through fast food or sitting down in a restaurant, bring your lunch outdoors. Pack a cooler with a turkey sandwich on whole grain bread with lettuce and tomatoes and add piece of fruit. Also powerwalk,jog or hike. 4, Hydrate. More activity may mean more perspiration, requiring more hydration. Drink at least eight glasses of water a day...a couple of those glasses could be herbal tea or flavored seltzer water. 5. Eat more...often. Instead of three square meals a day, boost your metabolism by taking an item or two from each meal, and eating it two to three hourslater. 6. No more excuses. Stop making excuses such as “I’ll start tomorrow,” “I don’t feel like work- ing out today,” and “I just can’t get into it yet.” Resolve to live healthy and follow through.
