  11. Dietary Guidelines: Let's eat for the health of it! • Build a healthy plate • Before you eat, think about what goes on your plate or in your cup or bowl. Foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, and lean protein foods contain the nutrients you need without too many calories. Try some of these options. • Make half your plate fruits and vegetables. • Switch to skim or 1% milk. • Make at least half your grains whole. • Varyyour protein food choices. • Keep your food safe to eat • Cut back on foods high in solid fats, added sugars, and salt • Many people eat foods with too much solid fats, added sugars, and salt (sodium). Added sugars and fats load foods with extra calories you don't need. Too much sodium may increase your blood pressure. • Choose foods and drinks with little or no added sugars. • Look out for salt (sodium) in foods you buy - it all adds up. • Eat fewer foods that are high in solidfats.

  12. Eat the right amount of calories for you • Everyone has a personal calorie limit. Staying within yours can help you get to or maintain a healthy weight. People who are successful at managing their weight have found ways to keep track of how much they eat in a day, even if they don't count every calorie. • Enjoy your food, but eat less. • Cook more often at home, where you are in control of what's in your food. • When eating out, choose lower calorie menu options. • Writedown what you eat to keep track of how much you eat. • Be physically active your way • Pick activities that you like and start by doing what you can, at least 10 minutes at a time. Every bit adds up, and the health benefits increase as you spend more time being active.  • Children and adolescents should do 60minutes or more of physical activity each day. • Most of it should be either moderateor vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity, and should include vigorous-intensity physical activity at least 3 days a week.
