9 9 Choose MyPlate “Menu” Balancing calories –Enjoy your food, but eat less –Avoid oversized portions

10 10 Food is to be enjoyed! “Food is not nutritious until its eaten.” ~ Smarter Lunchrooms 2011

11 11 Enjoy — but eat less!

12 Know the serving size YOU ate! 12

13 Eat until “satisfied,” not “full” “Your stomach shouldn’t be a waist (waste) basket.” ~ Author Unknown 13

14 14 It takes about 20 minutes for stomach to tell your brain you’re full 14 20 minutes

15 15 Downsize portion size The bigger the portion, the more people tend to eat

16 16 “ You better cut the pizza in four pieces, because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.” ~Yogi Berra

17 17 Photo courtesy of National Cancer Institute Limit foods high in sodium, added sugars, and refined grains

18 18 18 Photo courtesy of National Cancer Institute Eat more nutrient- dense foods

19 19 Nutrient-dense vs. not nutrient-dense

20 20 Nutrition Facts Label doesn’t separate “added” & “naturally occurring” sugars “Added” sugars are sugars and syrups added to foods or beverages during preparation or processing 1 teaspoon sugar = about 4g of added and/or naturally occurring sugar

21 21 Physical activity and diet important regardless of weight!

22 22 How much WEEKLY physical activity should adults (age 18 and over) do for substantial health benefits? A. 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate- intensive activity (i.e. 30 minutes, 5 times/week) B. 1 hour and 15 minutes of vigorous- intensity activity (i.e. 15 minutes, 5 times/week) Either option or an equivalent combination of the two

23 23 Moderate aerobic activity increases breathing and heart rate somewhat

24 24 Vigorous aerobic activity greatly increases heart rate and breathing

25 25 Limit screen time or watch and workout

26 26 You can live as if there’s no tomorrow... … but, tomorrow will probably come …

27 27 “If I’d known I was going to live so long, I’d have taken better care of myself.” ~Leon Eldred

28 28 Choose MyPlate “Menu” Foods to increase –Make half your plate fruits and vegetables –Make at least half your grains whole grains –Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk

29 29

30 30 Fill half your plate with fruits & veggies

31 31 Pick a variety of vegetables from each vegetable subgroup

32

33 33 Green peasGreen beans The “beans and peas (legumes)” subgroup does NOT include...

34 34 At least half your grains should be whole grains

35 35 Bran Endosperm Germ Whole grains contain the entire grain seed or “kernel”

36 36 Partially whole grain products providing half or more whole grains per ounce- equivalent serving have at least either: –51% of total weight as whole grains OR –8g of whole grains

37 The Whole Grain Stamp -If a product bears the 100% Stamp, then all its grain ingredients are whole grains. There is a minimum requirement of 16g (16 grams) — a full serving — of whole grain per labeled serving, for products using the 100% Stamp. - If a product bears the Basic Stamp, it contains at least 8g (8 grams) — a half serving — of whole grain, but may also contain some refined grain. Even if a product contains large amounts of whole grain (23g, 37g, 41g, etc.), it will use the Basic Stamp if it also contains extra bran, germ, or refined flour. 37

39 39 3 ways to eat half whole grains 2 oz. 100% whole grains, 2 oz. partly whole- grain products, & 2 oz. refined grain products 3 oz. 100% whole grains & 3 oz. refined- grain products 6 oz. partly whole-grain products

41 41 Choose MyPlate “Menu” Foods to reduce –Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread, and frozen meals ― and choose the foods with lower numbers –Drink water instead of sugary drinks

42 Avoid Solid Fats and Added Sugars (SoFAS) Solid Fats Added Sugars 42

44 44 People ages 2 and older should reduce daily sodium intake to less than … 2,300 mg or 1,500 mg, depending on age/other individual characteristics There are 2,300 mg of sodium in a teaspoon of salt Current daily average in the U.S. is 3,400 mg

45 45 Groups reduced to 1,500 mg  African Americans ages 2+  Adults ages 51+  People ages 2+ with high blood pressure, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease

46 46 Easy ways to reduce sodium  Check labels  Avoid adding salt (an exception may be when baking yeast breads)  Eat fresh foods, frozen veggies  Request salt be left off when eating out  Use other seasonings

47 47 Reduce sugar-sweetened beverage intake:  Drink fewer sugar- sweetened beverages  Consume smaller portions  Substitute water, unsweetened coffee and tea, and other beverages with few or no calories
