Dear Neighbor,

On behalf of Inova it is with great pleasure we present our 2nd Annual

Buy Fresh Buy Local guide for Northern Virginia. Information in the

guide includes the locations of local Farmers Markets to purchase fresh,

healthy produce and other resources available to you with respect to well-

ness programs, healthy recipes and nutrition services.

Inova is proud to sponsor the Northern Virginia Chapter of Buy Fresh

Buy Local, a nationally recognized program that is dedicated to reintro-

ducing Americans to their food the seeds it grows from, the farmers who

produce it, and the routes that carry it from the elds to their tables. Buy Fresh Buy Local is

part of Inovas family of health, nutrition and sustainability programs, which also include Part-

nership for Healthier Kids, FUN and SNAP (healthy weight management and obesity prevention

for children), iPATH, Inova HealthSource and a variety of cooking classes.

Healthy eating is a key ingredient to healthy living and I hope you will take full advantage of the

information we have put together for you.

Enjoy the guide. We had a great deal of fun putting it together.

Sincerely,

J. Knox Singleton

Vegetable Gardening in Containersi u d a pa r a aard, dr ra r, uru,rw a ar.

A windowsill, patio, balcony, or doorstep canprovide sucient space or a productive con-tainer garden. Problems with soil-borne diseases,nematodes, or poor soil can also be overcomeby switching to container gardening.

Grow vegetables that take up little space, suchas carrots, radishes, and lettuce, or crops thatbear ruits over a period o time, such as tomatoesand peppers, or best use o space and containers.Dwar or miniature varieties oten mature andbear ruit earlier, but most do not produce as

well overall as standard varieties. With increasinginterest in container gardening, plant breedersand seed companies are working on vegetablesspecically bred or container culture. Thesevarieties are not necessarily miniature or dwarand may produce as well as standard types icared or properly.

The amount o sunlight your container gardenreceives determines what crops can be grown.Generally, root crops and lea crops can tolerate

partial shade, but vegetables grown or theirruits generally need at least ve hours o ull,direct sunlight each day and perorm best with8 to 10 hours. Available light can be increased

somewhat by providing refective materialsaround the plants (aluminum oil, white-paintedsuraces, marble chips, etc.).

Container gardening lends itsel to attractiveplantscaping. A dull patio area can be brightenedby the addition o baskets o cascading tomatoesor a colorul herb mix. Planter boxes with trellisescan be used to create a cool, shady place on anapartment balcony. Container gardening presentsopportunities or many innovative ideas.

Supporting Healthy Foods and CommunitiesWe all know that a key element to healthy livingis good nutrition. Inova is proud to sponsor theNorthern Virginia Chapter o bu fr bu la,a nationally recognized program that is dedicated

to reintroducing Americans to their ood theseeds it grows rom, the armers who produce it,and the routes that carry it rom the elds to theirtables.

bu fr bu la is part o Inovas amily ohealth, nutrition and sustainability programs,

which also include Partnership for Healthier Kids,FUN and SNAP(healthy weight management andobesity prevention or children), iPATH, InovaSustainability Program and Inova HealthSource.

For more inormation about this eort pleasevisit: www.inova.org/buyreshbuylocal . You cansubmit your request or a ree bumper sticker, nda Farmers Market near your home or downloada healthy recipe.

Preventing ObesityfActs AboUt PReventionObesity is a chronic disease aecting increasingnumbers o children and adolescents as well asadults. Obesity rates among children in the UShave doubled since 1980 and have tripled oradolescents. About 17 percent o children agedtwo to 19 are considered overweight comparedto over 66 percent o adults who are consideredoverweight or obese.

Earlier onset o type 2 diabetes, cardiovasculardisease, and obesity-related depression in childrenand adolescents is being seen by healthcare pro-essionals. The longer a person is obese, the moresignicant obesity-related risk actors become.Given the chronic diseases and conditions associ-ated with obesity and the act that obesity is di-cult to treat, prevention is extremely important.

A primary reason that prevention o obesity isso vital in children is because the likelihood ochildhood obesity persisting into adulthood is

thought to increase as the child ages.

infAntsBreasted babies are 20 percent less likely todevelop diabetes and are less likely to becomeoverweight. Thereore, the longer babies arebreasted, the less likely they are to becomeoverweight as they grow older.

chilDRen AnD ADolescentsYoung people generally become overweight orobese because they do not get enough physicalactivity in combination with poor eating habits.Genetics and liestyle also contribute to a childsweight status.

Rda r pr rwad dur dd ad adud:

Gradually work to change amily eating habitsand activity levels rather than ocusing ona childs weight.

Be a role model. Parents who eat healthy oodsand participate in physical activity set an exam-ple so that a child is more likely to do the same.

Encourage physical activity. Children shouldhave 60 minutes o moderate physical activitymost days o the week. More than 60 minuteso activity may promote weight loss and provideweight maintenance.

Reduce screen time in ront o the televisionand computer to less than two hours daily.

Encourage children to eat when hungry and toeat slowly.

Avoid using ood as a reward or withholdingood as a punishment.

Preventing Obesity (continued) Keep the rerigerator stocked with at-ree or

low-at milk, resh ruit, and vegetables insteado sot drinks and snacks high in sugar and at.

Serve at least ve servings o ruits andvegetables daily.

Encourage children to drink water rather thanbeverages with added sugar, such as sot drinks,sports drinks, and ruit juice drinks.

ADUltsMany o the strategies that produce successulweight loss and maintenance help prevent obesity.Improving eating habits and increasing physicalactivity play a vital role in preventing obesity.

Rda r adu ud:

Eat ve to nine servings o ruits and vegetablesdaily. A vegetable serving is one cup o rawvegetables or one-hal cup o cooked vegetablesor vegetable juice. A ruit serving is one pieceo small to medium resh ruit, one-hal cup ocanned or resh ruit or ruit juice, or one-ourthcup o dried ruit.

Choose whole grain oods such as brown rice

and whole wheat bread. Avoid highly processedoods made with rened white sugar, four, andsaturated at.

Weigh and measure ood in order to be ableto gain an understanding o portion sizes. Forexample, a 3-ounce serving o meat is the sizeo a deck o cards. Avoid supersized menu items.

Balance the ood checkbook. Taking in morecalories than are expended or energy will resultin weight gain. Regularly monitor weight.

Avoid oods that are high in energy density,or that have a lot o calories in a small amounto ood. For example, a large cheeseburger witha large order o ries may have almost 1,000 cal-ories and 30 or more grams o at. By orderinga grilled chicken sandwich or a plain hamburgerand a small salad with low-at dressing, you canavoid hundreds o calories and eliminate much

o the at intake. For dessert, have ruit or apiece o angel ood cake rather than the deathby chocolate special or three pieces o home-made pie.

Remember that much may be achieved withproper choices in serving sizes.

Accumulate at least 30 minutes or more omoderate-intensity activity on most, or preer-ably all, days o the week. Examples o moderateintensity exercise are walking a 15-minutemile, or weeding and hoeing a garden.

Look or opportunities during the day toperorm even ten or 15 minutes o some type

o activity, such as walking around the blockor up and down a ew fights o stairs.
