Eat breakfast; a lean protein,
whole grain and fruit, not overly
sweet cereals or pastries.
Allow an occasional splurge — in the long run, it’s unlikely to get you off track.
Have smaller meals throughout the day to keep your blood sugar steady.
Ask your health care provider if
medication could be causing you to overeat.
810
Eat slowly; it takes 20 minutes for your brain to receive the “full” signal.
Get enough sleep; hormones released during slumber help control your appetite.
Make each bite better by using
spices and other good flavors in your cooking.
Choose filling, high-fiber and water-rich
foods (produce, beans, whole grains, soups). 6
Eat when you’re
hungry, not when you’re feeling stressed or bored.
2Distract yourself during cravings by keeping busy — take a walk or talk to a friend.

Use a journal as a launching pad for your ideas.
Broaden your perspective; notice at least one new thing on your daily commute.
Sample new foods to teach your taste buds a thing or two.
Take a road trip.

Read every day; the more you read, the better your retention.
Volunteer to teach; it’s a guaranteed way to learn something new.
Be curious … at work, at play, with friends and
with family.
Sign up for something fun to learn a new hobby and meet like-minded people.6 Visit your
library; it’s free, it’s quiet
and it’s loaded with knowledge.
2
Learn from kids – they often teach lessons grown-ups have forgotten.

vary your activities to stay motivated.
Enjoy exercising; buddy up with a
friend and find an activity you enjoy to beat
boredom.
Rest if you feel pain, fatigue, dizziness or shortness of breath.
8
10
When stretching,use controlled movements until you feel muscle tension; then hold before you slowly release.
Start slowly and gradually work toward higher intensity.
6
Before beginning, ask your health care provider what’s safe and good for you.
Drink water frequently to prevent
dehydration.
Don’t hold your breath; breathe in and out through each move.
End each workout with a cooldown — a light version of your activity or just walking.

Take extra precautions or avoid outdoor activities when UV rays are strongest (10 a.m.-4 p.m.).
Apply sunscreen frequently;
use a minimum SPF of 15 (30 or more for better
protection).
Notice changes: Suspicious spots, changing moles and growths — they can develop anywhere, even on the soles of your feet!
Schedule an annual skin check with your health care provider.
Ask your pharmacist if sun exposure while taking medication will cause a reaction.
Protect yourself from UV exposure
through your car windows and
on cloudy days.
Protect your eyes with wraparound
UV-protective sunglasses. 8 10
Seek shade under an
umbrella, tree or canopy.
Shade your face, ears and
neck with a wide-brimmed hat.
Skip the white T-shirt; a thin shirt provides little protection from the sun’s rays.

9Beware of dietary supplements; check with your health care provider first.
Build muscle with strengthening
exercises twice a week
(hand weights, resistance
bands, yoga).
Find out your calorie allowance; it’s based on your age, gender and
physical activity level.
8
Balance energy in (from foods and beverages) with energy out (physical activity and exercise).Nibble on healthy
snacks often, and eat smaller
meals at mealtime.
Get your health care provider’s OK before increasing your physical activity level.
6
Do aerobic exercises for at least 30 minutes, five days per week.
Don’t skip meals; depriving your body of food actually slows your metabolism.
2 3
Rev up your engine; require more energy from your body with physical activity.1 Skip the labor-
saving devices and work your body instead.

Don’t leave home without a healthful breakfast — just juice and coffee won’t suffice.
Accept that changes in the workplace are normal, not threatening.
Focus on solving problems rather than
getting mired in negativity and
complaints.
Clear your work area each day, and plan for the next day.

Identify stress
triggers, and know how to counteract before getting
upset or angry.
Pack energizing snacks (yogurt, cheese, popcorn, fruits, vegetables, peanut butter).
Close your eyes, breathe deeply and imagine a scene that makes you feel good.
Limit caffeine, which can make you edgy and nervous (drink water throughout the day instead).
Take a break from your work
area when it is permitted.

Ease tension with 30 minutes of daily exercise and
light stretching.
