HEALTHY WEIGHT WEEK: Health Equity @ Office of Minority Health

Posted over 5 years ago by Helen Horton, BSN, RN

Healthy Weight Week is January 19 - 25, 2020

Are you ready to implement your active and healthy resolutions for 2020? January 19-25 is Healthy Weight Week and our partners have tips to help you and your family maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Having a healthy lifestyle is all about eating balanced meals and incorporating physical activity can help you maintain a healthy weight. As you prepare to go grocery shopping with your family use these resources from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to make informed decisions about what you buy. The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion also has great resources to help motivate you to stay active.

Make sure your healthy eating plan emphasizes the following:

  • Fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products.
  • Lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs and nuts.
  • Low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt and added sugars.
