It really helps to have a refresher like this on the little things that we can do to get and stay healthy with our eating. Here are her suggestions:

• Control your portions

• Use common, everyday reference points to help you recognize a healthy portion size

• Write down everything you eat

• Increase the “hidden” exercise in your daily routines

• Fill up on healthy selections

• Don’t eat right from the package

• Pay attention to labels
