Top Healthy Living Tip
- Do you use sunscreen? If so, be sure to drink lots of milk. Sun screen blocks vitamin D synthesis in the skin, a necessary process for bone health. Milk is an excellent calcium source and contains vitamin D.
- Practice stress relief. Whether it's exercise, deep breathing or a hobby, find something that helps you deal with the pressures of life and work.
- Don't forget about broth-based soups as a low-fat snack option.
- All fats, regardless of whether they are saturated or not, are high in calories. Watch fat intake to control weight gain.
- Having trouble getting the kids to eat healthier? Invite your child to select a new fruit or vegetable from the market each week then enlist her help in discovering where it comes from, how it’s grown, and how to prepare it.
- Calcium is important to your child’s health. Read labels and look for foods that provide 10 percent Daily Value or more for calcium. Some foods are fortified with calcium such as cereal, orange juice and Teddy Grahams® Graham Snacks.
- tPA stands for tissue plasminogen activator. tPA is a clot-busting drug used in some heart attack and stroke patients..
