Nutrition: Build a Healthy Meal

  • MyPlate is a great tool to find your healthy eating style and build it throughout your lifetime. It includes the five food groups: Dairy, Fruits, Vegetables, Grains, and Protein. Everything you eat and drink matters. The right mix can help you be healthier now and in the future. This means:
  • Focus on variety, amount, and nutrition.
  • Choose foods and beverages with less saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars.
  • Start with small changes to build healthier eating styles.
  • Support healthy eating for everyone.

To learn more about MyPlate, click here.

Harvest of the Month: Pears

  • A ½ cup of sliced pears – green, yellow, or red – has fiber and vitamin C. Some common pears are Bosc, Anjou, Bartlett, Asian, and Cactus Pear. Click here for more information on pears.

Physical Activity: Walking

  • Walking is a great way to get aerobic physical activity and has many health benefits including a decreased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and stroke. It can also be used as a form of transportation and helps to reduce air pollution. For more information on walking, click here.
