Healthy Eating Tips It doesn’t have to be daunting...
The concept of having a balanced diet may seem difficult to achieve, particularly with the increasing presence of fast-foods and the convenience of ready-made foods. However, it is not all that daunting when it’s broken down into just 6 main points to remember. These 6 points are based on the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating:
Consume a wide variety of grains and high
fibre foods
Enjoy plenty of nutritious foods such as
vegetables and legumes or beans
Have some fruit in your diet When having milk, cheese and yoghurt,
preferably consume reduced fat varieties
Incorporate some lean meats, poultry, fish,
eggs, nuts and seeds in your diet
Only have small amounts of oils, snacks and processed foods, and consume alcohol in moderation. Ask your Advantage pharmacist on how to incorporate the healthy eating guide and reduce the risk of diet-related diseases and other chronic diseases!

Keeping Active Some tips on getting started...
One of the most important but often very difficult to thing to incorporate into our daily lives, is exercise. Keeping active helps maintain muscle strength and a healthy weight, as well as potentially reducing your risk of developing chronic diseases. Having some form of physical activity is always better than having none at all. So here are some tips on how to get started: l Incorporate a small form of physical activity in your daily lives l Make time for exercise, and even schedule it like an appointment if you have to l Set some basic goals l Build up gradually l Choose activities that are right for you, or activities that you can really enjoy doing l Grab a friend or a family member and motivate each other l And most importantly, don’t give up! Ask your Advantage pharmacist for more tips and advice on suitable activities to start this year!

Body Mass Index What is the Body Mass Index, also known as the BMI? The BMI uses your weight and height, to determine whether an adult is within the recommended healthy weight range or not. The BMI may also state that an adult is underweight, overweight, or obese. Body Mass Index 130
n Obese n Overweight n Normal n Underweight
120

Height in cm
Health professionals often use the BMI as part of the risk assessment for developing chronic diseases. This is because being overweight or obese is known to directly contribute to developing: l High blood pressure l Cardiovascular diseases l Diabetes l Sleep Apnoea l And many other health issues The BMI by itself does not determine your risk of developing those diseases, so your health professionals are in the best position to help you perform other simple tests to assess your risks. Ask your Advantage pharmacist about various health screening services available at the pharmacy
