Staying fit and healthy is very important these days. We cannot be happy if we're not fit and healthy. Hereunder are easy ways to stay fit and healthy

Walk or ride your bike to work.
Try not to eat food portions that are larger than your fist.
Join an exercise group of neighbors, friends or just others in your community
Increase the fiber in your diet.
Throw out any milk other than fat-free (unless you have small kids who still need the higher fat milk)
Do resistance training while you watch television.
Implement an after-dinner walk with your family.
Avoid eating lat at night.
Instead of frying try grilling, steaming or baking
Avoid all-you-can eat buffets
Pass on the second (and third) helpings
Start each meal with a salad or plate of steamed vegetables

Do not skip meals
Wash your own car
Take breaks at work for walking or doing a few strength exercises

Avoid caffeine
Don't go to the grocery store hungry
Keep a pair of athletic shoes in your car so you can always be ready for a walk
Try new and different physical activities
Eat fruit for your dessert
When eating out, share your meal -- there's usually enough servings for two
Purchase only 100 percent fruit juices instead of those with mostly sugar
Keep your foods from being bland with spices and seasonings
