Make little changes that add up – parking farther away from the grocery store or mall entrance and walking the extra distance – every little bit helps.

We need fewer calories as we age, so the quality of the diet is even more important. Make every calorie count by including nutrient-rich foods: whole grains, lean protein, low-fat or non-fat dairy, healthy fats, and plenty of fruits and vegetables.

Don’t eat out of the bag or box. Place one serving in a small bowl or cup to limit how much you have of high fat and high sugar snacks like chips, crackers, candy, ice cream or cookies.

Rethink your drink. High calorie beverages like juice drinks, gourmet coffee drinks, and soft drinks can add many calories. Choose water, diet, or low calorie beverages instead of sugar-sweetened beverages to save calories for weight loss.
