Keep It Balanced means making informed choices and combining a sensible, balanced diet with appropriate exercise in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The food and beverages you consume put energy into your body and physical activity helps burn these calories. It's a simple formula: Energy In = Energy Out.

A balanced diet means getting a variety of foods that are from the seven main food groups:

Grains/rice/cereals
Vegetables
Fruits
Dairy
Meat/beans
Fats
Discretionary/optional/limited calories

Balance is more than just what you eat. You must have moderation. A sensible, balanced diet, increased activity, decreased stress, and adequate sleep will help lead you to a healthier, happier YOU tomorrow. You can also view serving size suggestions by clicking here.
