Health Weight With Dairy


Tips

Tips

  • Make time for exercise - just 30 minutes a day will help alleviate daily stress and leave you feeling healthier and more energetic.

  • Drink an 8-ounce glass of lowfat milk before or with a meal. And don't forget that flavored milks, in varieties from chocolate to strawberry to banana, contain the same nutrients as white milk.

  • Avoid the temptation of mid-afternoon munchies by sipping a homemade smoothie - made with yogurt, crushed ice and strawberries, blueberries or cranberries.

  • Curb your urge to nibble while making family meals by having a healthy snack before you start cooking. Try a cup of yogurt and whole grain crackers, or an ounce of lowfat Cheddar and a sliced apple.

  • Remember lowfat, reduced-fat and fat free varieties of milk, cheese and yogurt are readily available in your grocer's dairy case to meet a variety of taste and nutrition needs.


Before you make any changes in your eating pattern, be sure to talk with your physician or dietitian.
