Your HealthOn The Road To Better HealthPosted: 10/11/2012 Start a small garden in your yard or in a community garden. (NAPSI)—The warmer months are a great time to pick up new healthy habits. With longer days and a rainbow of fruits and vegetables in season, it’s easier to fit in physical activity and savor colorful, healthy meals with family and friends. To help make these habits last a lifetime, the Weight-control Information Network (WIN), a national information service of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, offers these ideas: Healthy Eating • Boost the flavor and nutrition of your meals with dry herbs. • Shop for food with your family. Get their help with fixing a meal. Remind them that it is important for everyone to eat healthy foods. • Start a small garden in your yard or in a community garden. Physical Activity • Choose water workouts and make a splash as you get fit and strong. • Plan a weekend hike through a park, a family softball game, or an evening walk around the neighborhood. These tips and more are in the flyers “Being Healthy Is a Big Deal” and “Don’t Take a Vacation From Your Healthy Habits This Summer.” Contact WIN for your copy to put on your refrigerator or in a helpful place as a reminder, or in a community center where you work or volunteer. For more information, call WIN at 1-877-946-4627 or visit www.win.niddk.nih.gov.
