***Weekly Fitness Tip*** Overindulgence doesnt ruin your weight loss goal, simply practice portion control the remainder of the week to compensate. ***Your Weekly Diabetes Tip*** Changes in what you eat, activity levels and time zones can affect your blood glucose. Check levels often. Talk with your doctor before increasing physical activity, such as going on a trip that will involve more walking. Stick with your exercise routine. Be sure to get at least 150 minutes of physical activity each week. ***Weekly Heart Health and Smart Eating Tip*** Cook heart-smart. Choose cooking methods that use less salt and calorie-laden fat. Steam, bake, broil or grill instead of frying. Reduce salt by avoiding bouillon or salty broth (use water instead); add lots of herbs and spices to enhance flavour. . Choose whole grains. The fibre in whole grains like oats, quinoa, whole wheat and barley can help lower blood pressure. People who eat more whole grains have a 29 percent lower risk of heart disease compared to those who don’t. Aim for 3-4 servings each day.
