Maintaining a comfortable weight involves maintaining a healthy lifestyle by combining good food choices with regular exercise. One of the best ways to make sure that your body gets all the nutrients it needs is to eat a variety of foods from these food groups:
- Vegetables
- Fruit
- Whole grains
- Lean meats
In addition to making smart food choices, engaging in regular physical activity, no matter how moderate, can help you to maintain a healthy weight. Many people say they feel too tired to exercise regularly, however exercise actually increases energy levels in most adults.
As little as 30 minutes of moderate exercise each day can make a significant difference to your weight management goals. Great activities include walking, swimming, cycling, playing a team sport or even heading to the gym.
Don’t delay, talk to your GP or local Pharmacist today!
