• Try whole fruit, like apples and oranges, instead of fruit bars or fruit-flavored snacks.

 

• Drink water, seltzer, or unsweetened tea instead of energy or fruit drinks or soda.

 
Schedule your doctor’s visit
An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure, so go don't hesitate to see your health care provider to:

• Schedule necessary tests, such as screenings for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity.
• Set health goals, such as being active and maintaining a healthy weight.
• Live a Clean, Happy and Peaceful Life.
• Always be thankful for all the blessings we receive; and

Above all, never forget GOD who is the source and giver of our life.
