STAYING HEALTHY

Don't Smoke - But if you do smoke, talk to your doctor about quitting. You can take medicine and get counseling to help you quit. Make a plan and set a quit date. Tell your family, friends and co-workers you are quitting. Ask for their support.
Healthy Diet - Eat a variety of foods, including fruit, vegetables, animal or vegetable protein (such as meat, fish, chicken, eggs, beans, lentils, tofu or tempeh) and grains (such as rice). Limit the amount of saturated fat you eat.
Exercise - Walk for health, dance, ride a bike, rake leaves or do any other physical activity you enjoy. Start small and work up to a total of 20-30 minutes most days of the week.
Healthy Weight - Balance the number of calories you eat with the number you burn off by your activities. Remember to watch portion sizes. Talk to your doctor if you have questions about what or how much to eat.
Drink Alcohol Only in Moderation - If you drink alcohol, have no more than 2 drinks a day. A standard drink is one 12-ounce bottle of beer or wine cooler, one 5-ounce glass of wine or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits.

GETTING STARTED: FITNESS

It's a new year, so get started on a fitness program, nothing could derail your good intentions faster than an injury. Not all injuries can be prevented, of course. But taking precautions can help reduce your risk of injury and let you enjoy your newfound activity all the more.

Some suggestions from the American Council on Exercise:
- Start slowly and be realistic. If you start out trying to do too much, you may get discouraged and quit altogether.
- Warm up with a few minutes of light activity before you get going on your chosen form of exercise.
- Learn to recognize the signals your body sends. Although it may be normal to feel a bit sore after certain exercises, you shouldn't feel actual pain or serious discomfort.
- Monitor yourself as you exercise, to make sure you're working out at the level that's best for you.
- Pay attention to potentially serious warning signs such as chest pain, dizziness, breaking out into a cold sweat.
You should also take your age and previous level of fitness into consideration. In addition, it's always a good idea to check with your doctor before starting on a new fitness program.
