Take Initiative
As a new employee, you are taking on the challenge of keeping your
mind and body healthy. Part of this dedication includes taking initiative to
maintain a healthy body weight. Use the “Food Planner” to plan healthful
meals and the “Food Tracker” to keep track of your food and fitness
activities. Continue using these tools found on ChooseMyPlate.gov for a
month or more. After a couple of months, write a summary indicating how
healthful eating and adequate physical activity have helped you maintain
a healthy body weight. What would you tell other “employees” about the
benefits of using these tools?
