Nutrition Tip of the Week
Control the Calories: Eating a salad at the start of a meal can help to manage your weight.  It takes
the edge off your hunger, making it easier to eat smaller amounts of other foods. Three cups of
salad provide at least three servings of vegetables. Salads can help make it easy for you to reach
the recommended goal of three to five servings of vegetables per day.

Physical Activity Tip of the Week
Friends and Fitness: Take advantage of physical activities you and your friends enjoy doing
together and eat the foods you like. Be adventurous -- try new sports, games and other activities
as well as new foods. You'll grow stronger, play longer, and look and feel better! Set realistic goals
-- don't try changing too much at once.
