Energy Continued…

Remember, you are unique… Your individual values may be different. The requirement for energy varies between individuals due to factors such as: genetics, body size and body composition.

Its not all just about food!!... Canada’s Food Guide also gives you the scoop on ACTIVITY! Physical Activity Being active every day is a step towards better health and a healthy body weight. Canada's Physical Activity Guide recommends building 30 to 60 minutes of moderate physical activity into daily life for adults and at least 90 minutes a day for children and youth.Canada's Physical Activity Guide You don't have to do it all at once. Add your excercise up in periods of at least 10 minutes at a time for adults and five minutes at a time for children and youth. Start slowly and build up.

Enjoy Eating! It is hard to believe that some people do not like to eat, but Canada’s Food Guide acknowledges that not everyone does. Enjoy eating, here are some tips: Cook with family or friends to make preparing meals more fun and less work. Experiment with new foods and recipes. Enjoy a potluck with friends. Celebrate special events with family and friends of all ages. It's a great way to pass along cooking skills and learn about traditional or cultural foods. Be a positive role model. Prepare and eat healthy foods with your friends and family to set a good example ALL THIS TALK ABOUT FOOD IS MAKING ME HUNGRY, HOW ABOUT YOU?
