A Happy and Healthy 2006

A Happy and Healthy 2006

December 30, 2005

Whether you’re watching a bowl game on TV, tailgating at the stadium or making the rounds of New Year’s Eve get-togethers, start your year off right with a plan for this weekend’s events.

First, decide which foods you can't live without and skip those you can. Second, choose smaller portions of high-calorie items. Fill your plate with vegetables, low-calorie dips and salsa or fruit salads. Enjoy your food choices by sitting down and savoring your meal.

Remember alcohol affects your appetite, so if you’re drinking you may end up eating more than you planned.

And finally, rather than just watching all those games, what about getting some physical activity? Take the dog for a walk, go biking with the kids or play some football yourself. These tips can help you begin 2006 on the right foot.

Happy New Year and best wishes for a year of good health.
