We all learned about the four food groups in school I'm sure, but how many adults actually eat a balanced meal?  According to the USDA (United States Dept. of Agriculture) only 1 in 5 adults eat a healthy meal to include all food groups.  As infectious diseases are on the rise such as diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure are all preventable!

To refresh your memory, each meal should consist of whole grains, dairy, fruits and vegetables and protein.  So for instance:

Whole grain- bread, muffins, oatmeal, barley, pasta

Fruits and Veggies- carrots, bananas, oranges lettuce/greens

Dairy- ice cream, yogurt, milk, eggs

Protein- meats, seafood, nuts, peanut butter

Physical exercise is important for cardio vasular health (heart and lungs), also at least 84oz of water a day.  Our bodies are 60% water including 75% of our blood needs water, not soda, juices, alcohol etc. WATER!

Remember, most illnesses and diseases are preventable with a healthy diet, lifestyle and exercise!

Happy healthy eating and living!  Enjoy

Peace, Love and Strength
