MyPlate has a companion tool called the Super Tracker that can help prioritize food choices by reminding us to make half of our plate fruits and vegetables and shows us the other important food groups for a well-balanced meal: whole grains, lean proteins, and low fat dairy. To say the least, this is a tremendous move forward in the battle against obesity. The White House Chef uses MyPlate to create school lunches for their visitors. I think it is another great resource to use one you decide to be proactive about your health and that of those you love. And Face it, health is a BIG topic right now.

What I really like about MyPlate is that it's so easy to follow. This is as effortless taking care of yourself is gonna get. In the end, the rest really is up to you. MyPlate just seems to simplify something that was never really complicated from the beginning. What's complicated is navigating the many advertisements of delicious choices on the grocery shelf that makes us forget about the best choices for our health. So this is yet another tool to support you and build on all you have accomplished. -Keep going! Use the SuperTracker to help you and your family go the distance. Click the MyPlate icon at the top to start tracking your meals.

DeleteReally following a healthy diet can help maintain a healthy mind as well. It becomes easy to concentrate on work and an energy is felt from within.
ReplyDeleteVery true! The management of your health through diet is the key to longevity, remaining active and alert well into your 90's...And these days, your 100's. I have personally seen active and alert people, age 98 - 99, suddenly called to Glory simply because it was their time. By active, I mean running their business, and dancing at events on the weekends. How fabulous is that!
