Activity and Eating: Small Steps to a Healthier You

This eight-page booklet provides adults with an understanding of the essential connection between physical activity and balanced food choices for long-term good health. The booklet uses a behavior change model that translates information into positive attitudes and eating behaviors.

The content is based on the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, as depicted in the MyPlate icon. Information is provided about shopping for and preparing balanced meals with foods rich in nutrients from the full range of food groups. Sections on portion sizes, label reading and a food diary equip users to put information about healthy eating into practice.

The benefits of daily physical activity and ideas for overcoming barriers to meeting recommended levels of activity are addressed. Individuals are supported in defining specific eating and physical activity goals for themselves.
