        10 Tips to Healthy Eating and Physical Activity for You

Today's site, from The President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, 
offers
sensible suggestions to help improve the health of the nation's citizens. Gentle
Subscribers, looking for some additional motivation and practical advice on 
healthy
living, may find this upbeat article a useful spur.

"The President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports is an advisory 
committee of
volunteer citizens who advise the President through the Secretary of Health and
Human Services about physical activity, fitness, and sports in America. Through 
its
programs and partnerships with the public, private and non-profit sectors, the
Council serves as a catalyst to promote health, physical activity, fitness, and
enjoyment for people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities through 
participation
in physical activity and sports." - from the website

The tip sheet combines advice about simple ways to enhance good eating practices
with suggestions about how to incorporate more physical activity into anyone's
daily routine -- the stealth approach for those who consider exercise as not for
them. From dietary information in general terms, such as promoting breakfast 
with
easy and nutritious foods, along with ways to slip in 10 minutes of physical
activity three times a day, the guidelines propose simple ways to move toward a
more healthy life. Additional information focuses on how to use the Food Guide
Pyramid by explaining the size of the recommended portions in the Pyramid's
categories.
