With the winter season in full swing, it's hard to stay healthy. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has some tips to help keep you healthy during the cold months and beyond:1. Wash your hands often to keep avoid spreading germs and getting sick.
2. Bundle up to stay dry and warm.
3. Manage stress. Don't overcommit yourself, and keep holiday spending in check.
4. Don't drink and drive or let others drink and drive.
5. Be smoke-free. Avoid smoking and second-hand smoke.
6. Fasten seat belts while driving or riding in a motor vehicle. Always buckle your child in the car using a child safety seat, booster seat or seat belt according to his/her height, weight and age.
7. Monitor children. Keep potentially dangerous toys, food, drinks, household items and other objects out of kids' reach. Make sure toys are used properly.
8. Practice fire safety. Most residential fires occur during the winter months, so be careful to never leave fireplaces, space heaters, stoves or candles unattended. Have an emergency plan, and practice it regularly.
9. Prepare food safely. Remember these simple steps: wash hands and surfaces often, avoid cross-contamination, cook foods to proper temperatures and refrigerate promptly.
10. Eat healthy, and get moving. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Limit your portion sizes and foods high in fat and sugar. Be active for at least two and a half hours a week and help kids and teens be active for at least one hour a day.

Good health is important to everyone. If you are a person who is overweight, then every pound which you lose will be a cause for celebration. The only way to lose weight is to take responsibility for yourself! Our health is our most important asset. For many people, being overweight is associated with being uncomfortable in their own skin. To assist with weight control; keep a daily food journal and every time the urge to snack is felt, first drink a large glass of clear water. This simple act will help you to eat less. Water will soon become one of your best friends. The major reason so many people in America are overweight is because we eat too much for comfort! It does not hurt to treat ourselves with something special once in a while, what is necessary is that we limit our portions and do not overeat! It is also necessary to keep our body properly hydrated, so drink a full glass of water with each meal or snack. Being overweight ******, but after reading a book, I lost 85 pounds! Words can not express how good I feel! This is a comment which I recently received about the book Lose Weight Using Four Easy Steps
