Health Tip: Get Moving Toward a Healthier You

A healthier you could be within reach if you follow a few guidelines.

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases advises:

Measure your waist. Men with a circumference of greater than 40 inches, or women greater than 35 inches, are at heightened risk of health problems such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
Plan an exercise schedule that’s tailored to your goals. As you begin meeting goals, increase your activity.
Plan for the fitness challenges you are likely to face, and ways to overcome them.
Make healthier food choices. Eat more fruit and vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. Cut back on salt, sugar and solid fats.
