Good News--I Can Do This!

Harvard Medical School psychologist Alice Domar, PhD says that the old guidelines for good health did not consider the whole picture.

Old Rule-8 glasses of water a day
New Rule-Eat your water--fruits, vegetables, beans, cooked whole grains, etc.  They deliver nutrients and antioxidants as well!

Old Rule-Nine servings of fruits and vegetables
New Rule-Fill half your plate with produce

Old Rule-Avoid red meat
New Rule-Beef in moderation can be healthy

Old Rule-BMI between 18.5 and 24.9
New Rule-Eat healthy, exercise, and let your weight settle naturally
