Ways we can all live a longer, higher quality life:

• Eat lots of fruits and vegetables every day (the CDC recommends 5-9 servings/day for adults).
• Walk, bike, hike, garden, swim (the CDC recommends adults get 120 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each week; MORE is better and ANY is better than nothing)
• Practice prevention: wear your seatbelt and bike/ski helmet.
• Stay up to date on health screenings and “know your numbers” (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar)
• Practice 5-2-1-0 with the children in your life (5 fruits and vegetables a day, no more than 2 hours of screen time, one hour of physical activity, and zero sugary drinks).
• Support improvements to our city/town including, - sidewalks, bike paths, parks, trails and green spaces.
• Do something healthy with at least one other person a few days a week.
• Commute GREEN by walking or biking to work or school.
• Volunteer your time anywhere!
• Plant, grow, prepare and share your own food.
• Practice moderation in regards to alcohol consumption.
• Avoid tobacco products; if you smoke, try to cut down and get help to quit.
• Support the local economy and buy local whenever possible.
