Changing your Lifestyle<br />
Did you know that nearly<br />
two-thirds of adults and a<br />
third of children in Britain<br />
are overweight or obese?<br />
Adult obesity rates have almost<br />
quadrupled in the last 25 years<br />
and experts have predicted that<br />
by the year 2020 one third of<br />
people in the UK could be obese.<br />
One of the big ways we are<br />
being urged to stop this problem<br />
in our country and individual’s<br />
lives is through the Government’s<br />
Change4Life campaign.<br />
Its aim is to tackle obesity in<br />
children, families and adults by<br />
making improvements to their diet,<br />
fitness and alcohol consumption.<br />
Under the slogan Eat Well, Move<br />
More, Live Longer, Change4Life<br />
was launched in 2009 and is<br />
encouraging people to be more<br />
healthy in six ways:<br />
FIVE A DAY – encouraging<br />
people to eat the recommended 5<br />
portions of fruit and veg each day<br />
WATCH THE SALT – reduce the<br />
amount of salt eaten each day,<br />
ideally to below 6g for adults<br />
Top Tips for Healthy Eating...<br />
CUT BACK FAT – providing<br />
information about fat in foods and<br />
ways to reduce it<br />
SUGAR SWAPS – information<br />
about sugar in foods and<br />
suggestions for healthier<br />
alternatives<br />
CHOOSE LESS BOOZE – ways<br />
for adults cut down on alcohol<br />
consumption<br />
GET GOING EVERY DAY – why<br />
it’s important to lead an active<br />
lifestyle and how to do it cheaply<br />
and easily<br />

Love your labels ... Food labels can seem a bit boring, but they<br />
are the best way of checking what you’re eating as they can tell you<br />
what’s hidden inside the food. Once you know what how to use them,<br />
you’ll soon be able to make healthier choices when you’re shopping.<br />
Be calorie smart... Counting calories doesn’t have to mean<br />
you’re on a diet! They are a really handy way of helping you choose<br />
balanced meals each day, and not eating more than you need.<br />
Share packaged foods... Many foods and drinks are packaged<br />
for two adults sharing, so if you’re eating by yourself avoid temptation<br />
and save some for later.<br />
Eat a little slower... It takes time for our brains to register we’re<br />
full, so try to eat more slowly.<br />
Focus on your food Eating distractedly, such as in front of the TV,<br />
means we eat more without noticing or even enjoying it.<br />
