Little changes = BIG results

At the Health Department, we encourage people to practice healthy lifestyle choices. This tends to lead to more stability & long-term benefits.

A healthy lifestyle can tolerate any food when partnered with moderation, portion control, & physical activity. In fact, making small changes can lead to big results.

For example:
- exchanging one sweetened beverage for water can save over 100 calories (per cup).
- using mustard instead of mayo on a sandwich saves both calories & fat.
- changing to a low-fat or skim milk also saves both calories & saturated fat.

What small things do you do?
