The Easiest Way to Eat a Balanced Diet

The Easiest Way to Eat a Balanced Diet
"Write down specific plans about how you will achieve your healthy goal. Try using 'if-then' statements. For example, 'If I want dessert after dinner, then I will make myself a fruit salad.' " — Matthew M. Clark, Ph.D., L.P.
Healthy Eating
Follow the Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid

The goal is to get most of your food from the groups at the bottom of the pyramid — such as fruit and vegetables — and less from the top. Combine regular exercise and balanced eating with the help of this cheat sheet, and you'll see just how rewarding a healthy lifestyle can be.

Today's Fitness Tip
Set realistic fitness goals
It's easy to get frustrated and give up if you start out with goals that are too ambitious. If you haven't exercised in a while, a short-term goal might be to walk five minutes once or twice a day, and a long-term goal might be to complete a 5K walk. Whatever your current fitness level is, aim to strike a safe but challenging balance.
