Eat smart.

• Look for items that have 3 or more grams of fiber and less than 5 grams of sugar per serving.
• Serve fruits and vegetables at every snack and meal.

Get moving.

Every little bit counts. And though it's not always easy to make it to the gym, you can still keep still keep moving no matter where you are. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Take the stairs, walk the dog or pick the farthest parking spot from a store's entrance.
• Wear a pedometer to count your steps and track your movement.
• Try lunges, jumping jacks, mountain climbers or running in place.

Exercise your brain.

The mind can affect the health of the body. Be sure to stay active and engaged to keep both in peak condition. It's easy:

• Try something new: learn a foreign language, write a blog or take a class.
