Leading a healthy lifestyle has a variety of benefits worth working towards. Consider the following tips as you strive to achieve and/or maintain your target BMI.

• Eat a balanced diet. Food plays a huge role in health and weight. Strive to eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and fat-free or low-fat dairy products. 
• Stay active. Balance the time that you sit every day with hikes, bike rides, yoga and other activities that get you moving. 
• Get help. You don’t have to do it alone. Talk to your doctor or nutritionist and make a plan, increasing accountability and motivation.
