Health Hint 3/24

Health Hints: A shortage of iron in the body can make a person feel drained. Moderate iron deficiency can be corrected through diet. Consider eating sensible portions of iron-rich foods, such as lean red meat, pork, liver, and dark poultry meat. They contain the kind of iron your body can easily absorb. Consume foods that are high in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits and juices, broccoli, tomatoes, potatoes, and cantaloupe. Vitamin C will help your body absorb iron. Avoid substances that inhibit iron absorption, such as tannic acid in tea.

Steps to a Healthy Life

We all know what it takes to live a healthy life...


Eat our Veggies...



Exercise...

But why is it so hard to get on track?

It takes twenty-eight days to make a habit, so it is important to stay focused until that habit is established.

It is also very important to set attainable goals. No one is going to lose a hundred pounds in a month. A healthy weight-loss is one to two pounds a week. Use this guideline to set a realistic weight-loss goal. If you are focusing on becoming more healthy, then focus on changing one thing each week... replace your chocolaty afternoon snack with some fruit this week... or exercise every other day this week... pick one step and stick to it.

Good luck this week with whatever your healthy living goal happens to be!
