- Eat a variety of vegetables. Add fruit to meals and snacks. Buy fruits that are dried, frozen, or canned in water or 100 percent juice, as well as fresh fruits.
- Cut back on sodium and empty calories from solid fats and added sugars. Drink water instead of sugary drinks. Select fruit for dessert. Add spices or herbs to season food without adding salt.
- Eat more homemade food. When choosing prepackaged food look for low sodium, no sugar added, and low fat versions of your favorite foods to help cut back on extra sodium, sugar, and fat.
- Eat in balance - make at least half the grain foods you eat whole grains, choose fat free or low fat milk and dairy products, and eat a variety or proteins to include fish, nuts, and beans.
- Find fun physical activities and do some of them 60 minutes a day, most days of the week.
