Balance

Q. How can I balance my life?

A. Balance your work life and your life after work. A central component of balance is living a life of moderation. The motto of the ancient Greeks was "Nothing to excess, everything in moderation." Stay healthy by eating nutritiously, exercising, sleeping, and creating personal time.

Healthful eating fuels fitness. Adapt food choices to match your personal needs. Enjoy an eating plan in accordance with the Food Guide Pyramid based primarily on grain products, followed by vegetables, fruits, with moderate amounts of dairy products, lean meats, fish, poultry, and legumes, and small amounts of fats, oils, and sweets.

Accumulate 30 minutes or more of moderate physical activity on most -- preferably all -- days of the week.
