Southwest Florida's Health and Wellness Magazine Health and Wellness Articles
By Janet Canderwood, RD
Have you ever been told your body mass
index is out of range?
Perhaps it’s time to make a lifestyle change.
Instead of sitting on the couch munching on potato chips,
Go outside and do some somersaults
and flips.
You may want to take a brisk walk or go for
a long bike ride,
The first step is for you to decide.
Take action to increase activity every day
Believe me, you’ll feel better especially the
next time you weigh.
Don’t let your health go down the drain,
Make better choices by using your brain.
Eat more vegetables like peppers, broccoli
and kale,
Before you step on the bathroom scale.
Without taking any action, it’s just wishful thinking
By doing more activity and eating healthier, don’t be surprised if the guys start winking.
