What can I do to lose weight?
Eat less fast foods, fried food, candy, cookies, desserts, cheese, burgers and ice cream. Eat whole grains and fresh vegetables. Walk or do another exercise you like for one-half hour (or more) each day. The best diet/exercise programmes work over a long period of time. Crash diets do not work.
SLEEP WELL
Regular sleeping patterns help reduce stress in your life. If your mind and body are tired, you will probably sleep better, so stay active during the day. Quiet activities in the evening, such as reading or watching television, help to relax your body before bedtime. Don’t take naps during the day or you may not feel sleepy at bedtime. If you miss a few hours of sleep, don’t worry. Try to keep your sleeping hours regular most of the time.

Protect your eyes from the sun: Wear sunglasses or a hat.
Take the stairs instead of the lift whenever possible.

Stop smoking now!
Eat fruit or vegetables three times a day.
Walk more and drive less.
Don’t fry food. Grill or steam your food instead.
Always wear sunscreen.

EXERCISE
Regular exercise is a fun way to stay healthy. The best types of exercise for your heart are walking, jogging, cycling, swimming and aerobics. It’s important to do regular, vigorous exercise at least three to four times a week. More relaxed exercise, such as walking or dancing, can be done every day. Always stretch and warm up before you begin. Otherwise, you can cause damage to your muscles. After exercise, cool down with more stretching.
DIET
Eat a variety of foods. This makes your body stronger and helps you fight disease. For example, milk gives your body calcium and vitamin D. (Low-fat or skim milk is better for you than whole milk.) Fruits and vegetables give your body fibre and vitamins. Beans are low in fat and rich in fibre and protein. Grain also gives your body fibre. (Try eating wheat bread instead of white bread.)
