Tips
How much water is enough? Water helps
with regulating body temperature and carries nutrients
to tissue and
vital organs. It also serves to keep the integrity
of the joints and organs nice and strong. To determine
how much water you need divide your body weight in
half. That is the number of ounces you need
in a day.

Trying to be mindful of controlling blood
fat and blood sugar? Key ingredients for
lowering your risk for heart disease: Decrease
the amount of saturated and hydrogenated fats in your
diet; include more “good” fats which
are “mufas", and "pufas" (mono-unsaturated,
poly-unsaturated) known to lower cholesterol; increase

Emphasizing physical fitness and good nutrition
in childhood. Many children as young
5-6 exhibit risk factors of heart disease such as
elevated blood
pressure, obesity and high blood lipids. Many of these
risks manifest themselves in adulthood and can be
linked to inactivity and poor nutrition in childhood.
Regular physical
activity can reduce these risks. Integrating
regular physical activity into an educational plan
for children can impact health in
adulthood.
