10 Tips on How to Stay Healthy

Tip #1. Eat a Nutritious Breakfast. After a long night’s sleep it is important to
refuel. It helps you do better in school. Some ideas for a quick, healthy
breakfast: Peanut butter on toasted whole-grain bread, yogurt with fruit,
cheese slices on toast and fruit on cereals.

Tip #2. Eat a variety of foods. Your body needs nutrients and many different
vitamins and minerals from a variety of foods. Balancing food choices from
the Food Guide Pyramid and checking nutrition labels will help you to get
the nutrients you need.
Tip #3. Get moving....don’t be a couch potato. Walk, bike or jog when going
somewhere. Climb stairs instead of taking an escalator. Try to do something
active for a total of 30 minutes every day.

Tip #4. Participate in activities you enjoy. Always start with warm-ups to
get the muscles going. Do 20 minutes of an aerobic activity followed by
activities that will make you stronger like push-ups or sit-ups.

Tip #5. Choose healthy snacks. It is wise to choose snacks from different
food groups. Some choices would be: graham crackers, an apple or celery
sticks with peanut butter and raisins.
Tip #6. Include whole grains and fiber in your diet. Try breads such as
whole-wheat, bagels and pita. Spaghetti and oatmeal are also good
choices.
Tip #7. Participate in physical activities at school. This would include
physical education and sports. It will make you feel good about yourself.
Tip #8. Drink plenty of water. Your body is 65% water. That shows how

water each day. That can include the water from foods such as fruits.
