A healthy reminder: Wednesday is Start! Eating Healthy Day

Start! Eating Healthy Day (which, let’s face it, should be every day) on Wednesday is part of an American Heart Assn. campaign to encourage folks to make better food and eating choices.

If you need a friendly nudge, the Newport News Daily Press blog Health Notes offers some tips on how to begin. An easy one: Add a nutrition widget (online interactive tool) to your personal website or social network page that allows you to share links and advice with others.

For folks still unsure about exactly what smart choices entail, the Heart Assn.’s online Nutrition Center provides an amazing amount of quick-access information on shopping, recipes, dining out and more. The Start! campaign adds a fitness component to the get-healthy equation.
