8 Health Guidelines
1. Eat at least 5 servings of vegetables and fruits each day.
2. Choose whole-grain foods, such as brown rice and oats, whenever possible.
3. Include 2 servings of milk products (low-fat or fat free) each day. 3 servings if you're over 50.
4. Have some healthy oil (olive, canola, safflower, sunflower, or flaxseed) each day. This habit ensures that you get the essential fatty acids and vitamin E that your body needs. Use the oil on salads, in cooking, or as an ingredient in a mixed dish.
5. Ensure that you are getting enough protein by choosing at least a serving or two of meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dried beans, or soy products each day. Many milk products are also good sources of protein.
6. Limit added sugar and alcohol.
7. Drink at least 6 glasses of water each day.
8. Take a multiple vitamin-mineral supplement each day.
