Respecting your body means treating it well. What you eat and how active you are makes a huge difference on your physical, mental and emotional health. Being active helps you keep your body strong, reduce stress and improve energy.  Walk, play sports and get out in nature. It will have a big impact on how you feel and how healthy you’ll be.

Healthy eating can mean having more fruits and vegetables and fewer foods like chips, pop and candy bars. It can also mean eating more traditional foods like fish, caribou and other “country foods.”

The web sites below have lots of good information on both healthy foods and healthy weight loss. Check them out.
