Use Skim Milk
Milk is milk is milk...right? Well, not really. When you choose skim over 2% milk you're cutting out five grams of fat. That's 35 grams a week. For a family of four that's like eating about 600 cheeseburgers a year. Got Milk? Make it skim.

Read Nutrition Labels
The numbers don't lie. So the next time you reach for chips or ice cream, check the nutrition label. There's usually a healthier option, even for your guilty pleasures. And if you're feeling really ambitious, reach for something that doesn't have a label and comes in its own wrapper, like a banana.

Why Live in a Virtual World
When there's a real world just outside your door? So turn off the TV or computer and get out there. The less time you spend in front of a screen, the more time you'll have for family and friends.
