Safety Tip of the Month: Prioritize Nourishing Foods

Why: Eating whole, unprocessed foods is a key to good health. Don’t worry, healthy foods don’t have to be bland. Check out these tasty recipes and foods that boost your mental health.

How To: Add these nutritional habits into your diet: Concentrate on fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grain foods. Restrict your intake of processed foods, sweetened beverages and excessive saturated and unhealthy fats. Hydration is key! Aim for eight glasses of water daily.

Myths

Facts

Lifting weights makes you bulky

Strength training tones & defines, not bulk unless you eat for it

You need hours in the gym to see results

Consistency beats duration. Even 20 focused minutes counts

You can spot reduce fat

You can’t pick where to lose fat. Full body movement wins

Sweating means you’re burning more fat

Sweat cools you down, it’s not a fat burning meter
