Health Tips
January 25, 2006
DID YOU KNOW the government has updated the food and exercise guidelines? New recommendations say 60 to 90 minutes of exercise are needed each day. The government has updated the food pyramid - the first time in 12 years. Basically, the new pyramid stresses for individuals to lower your calorie intake as it relates to carbohydrates and increase your fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Now the pyramid suggests nine fruit and vegetables a day - compared to four before. And make at least half of your grains, whole grains. Also, add more exercise. If you thought 30 minutes a day was enough, not so, try 60 to 90 minutes a day to lose and keep off weight.
