Tips for a Happy and Healthy New Year
1. Always eat breakfast: Eating breakfast starts metabolism off right. Try to include
whole grains and lean protein, like oatmeal or hard-boiled eggs.
2. Make half your plate fruits and vegetables: Try to have a color at every meal.
January, 2015
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Did you know that the third week of January is healthy weight week? A
healthy weight can be achieved by making nutritious choices in your diet
and staying active. Eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables, whole grains,
and low-fat dairy can protect you and your children from health
complications. Try to make 2015 your healthiest year yet by making healthy
choices every day.
Don’t let winter stop you from choosing fruits and veggies; you can always find
canned or frozen vegetables when fresh are not available!
3. Watch portion sizes: When in doubt, use measuring cups to make sure you are not
overloading portions at your meal. Using smaller plates and glasses can help you
keep your portions under control.
4. Be active: Don’t let the winter blues keep you inside! Get outside and build a
snowman, take a ski trip, or participate in indoor activities like basketball and
hockey.
5. Make healthy snacks: Try to incorporate fruits and vegetables into holiday snacks
to make sure that your snacks are not empty calories. Aim for “combination
snacks” that include lean protein, whole grains, healthy fats, and fiber.
6. Learn how to read food labels: Learning what claims like “low-fat,” “reduced-fat,”
and “low-calorie” actually mean can help improve grocery choices.
7. Incorporate family meal time: Eating meals as a family is proven to promote
healthier choices. During dinner time, turn off the TV, leave cell phones off the
table, and try to involve kids in cooking and planning meals.
8. Cook meals from home: Cooking meals from scratch eliminates unwanted
additives and saves money.
9. Drink plenty of water: Without the heat, it is easy to forget to drink water.
Staying hydrated is essential for optimal health; it keeps our body temperature
regulated and helps the body transport nutrients. Remember to drink at least 6-8
cups a day!
Prayer Corner
Lord, in this month of January, we give You thanks for Your many blessings to us.
We thank You for family, friends, food and most especially for the gift of our
faith. Amen.
10. Dine out without ditching healthy goals: If you are eating out, opt for healthier
options. Several restaurants include a reduced-calorie menu. Remember that a
typical restaurant serving size is triple the amount of calories of a home-cooked
meal!
