Whole grains to reduce the risk of heart disease and energize our day,
Low fat and fat-free milk and milk products, to strengthen our bones and teeth;
Fruits and vegetables, healthy heart and digestion, protection against disease;
Protein foods: lean meats and fish, beans and peas, nuts and seeds, for body growth and repair.

Thankful for Limbs to Move Every Day

At least thirty minutes of physical activity a day,
Walking, biking, dancing, playing sports, tag and many more,
To be stronger doing what we love to do,
For a healthy heart and a healthy weight,
For improved sleep habits and reduced stress.

Thankful for Healthy Living

For the young and the mature, and everyone in between,
Making healthy food choices and engaging in physical activity every day,
Improves lives and makes a better day.

Happy Thanksgiving!
