It's All About You

For consumers—learn how to fuel your body and move it for a fun and healthy life!

Page after page, this resource embodies simple, action-orientated tips on how to:

  • Be Realistic:  Make small changes over time in what you eat and the level of activity you do.  After all small steps work better than giant leaps.
  • Be Adventurous:  Expand your tastes to enjoy a variety of foods and fitness activities.
  • Be Sensible:  Enjoy all foods, just don’t overdo it.
  • Be Flexible:  Go ahead and balance what you eat and the physical activity you do over several days.  No need to worry about just one meal or one day.
  • Be Active:  Walk the dog, don’t just watch the dog walk.
