Hai !
Here's some advice to manage a healthier life !
    
Try to make your family more active !
-Don't spent too much time online , watching television or playing video games ! 
Limit to maximum of 2 hours per day !! 
[Note: The American Academy of Pediatrics has advised that children younger than 2 years of age should not watch television at all.]If you insisted on watching television ,use an exercise machine,
such as a treadmill or stationery bike, while watching!!!
-Make your vacations an active one ! Hiking ! or..Riding Bicycle !
-
WALK !! DON'T DRIVE while doing  ERRANDS!!
-
EAT together ! EAT less! When families do not eat meals together, they tend to eat fewer fruits and vegetables and more fried food and soft drinks.




Better EATING !!!

- MORE water.
-Drink LESS soft drinks or packed fruit juice ! Drink
fresh fruit juice WITH very little sugar instead !!!
-LIMIT!!!!!!! consumption of
HIGH CALORIE STUFF such as : potato chips, burgers,french fries  and cookies.
-MORE !!!vegetables and fresh fruits.
-EAT healthy snacks instead !!!! Fresh fruit, vegetables, and whole grain crackers
-Eating too quickly = OVEREATING !!
so try to play the "Put the -Fork Down" game. Put your fork or finger food down between bites and take your hand away and try to catch one another not taking a break between bites!!!!

Oops ! Don't follow this one !




TIPS on FAST FOODS !!!
Sometimes, your only choice is fast foods! If you happen to face this situation , try these tips 
to keep at least some of the calorie out of your way ! 
-AVOID large cheeseburger ! Order regular sized burger instead !
-PUT your FRENCH FRIES ASIDE!!
-TRY DRINKING
MINERAL WATER , instead of SWEEENED SODA ,PROCESSED FRUIT JUICE OR ANY OTHER SOFT DRINKS !
-IF soft drinks are your only choice , order
REGULAR one instead of LARGE one !
-Actually , it would be much better if you buy fresh baked breads instead of fast foods  ! ^^
