Become a Healthy Role Model for Your Family

As we start the New Year, BMC Dietitian, Sarah Motl, MS, RD, offers up a few tips for becoming a good health role model for your family:

1. Make gradual changes: drink one more glass of water a day, walk 10 minutes longer each week.

2. Start walking: take the stairs instead of the escalator, park in the back of the parking lot.

3. Focus on health, not weight: don’t focus on the scale, focus on a healthy lifestyle which is so much more than just how much you weigh.

4. Slow down: it takes 20 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain you are full. 

5. Stay positive: don’t complain about how much you dislike exercising or eating healthy food, focus on the benefits.
