Walking
Even walking everyday is enough physical activity to improve heart health. Research has also shown that walking up to 30 minutes everyday can help:
• Improves blood pressure and blood sugar levels
• Reduces risk of heart disease, breast and colon cancer, and non-insulin dependent diabetes
• Maintains body weight/ lowers risk of obesity
• Improves blood lipid profilehttp://www.startwalkingnow.org/whystart_benefits_walking.jsp
You do not get something without giving something
Always be careful when taking prescription medication.
Although you may be taking an aspirin to help relieve a headache, that same aspirin can harm your liver.

It’s okay to experiment with food
Enjoy what you eat
Try different foods and see what you really like that is healthy and still tasty
If you do not like what you tried then move on
To something else
Keep it Interesting
