Your Guide to a Healthy Lifestyle – West Broward

The three main steps to saving money on the foods that you eat. are
(1) planning before you shop, (2) purchasing the items at the best
price, and (3) preparing meals that stretch your food dollars.
1. PLAN YOUR MEALS FOR THE WEEK before you head
to the grocery store Include meals like stews or stir-fries, which
“stretch” expensive items into more portions.
2. GET THE BEST PRICE by checking the newspaper and online for
coupons and at the store for sales. Ask about a loyalty card for extra
savings at stores where you shop. You can also BUY LOW COST
OPTIONS such as beans for proteins, carrots, greens, and potatoes
for vegetables and apples, bananas and oranges are great choices
for fruits. BUYING IN BULK is almost always less expensive. Smart
choices are family packs of chicken, steak and ground beef or pork,
Before you shop, remember to check if you have enough freezer
space.
3. COOK ONCE. AND EAT ALL WEEK. Prepare a large batch
of your favorite recipes on your day off then freeze individual portions in containers. Use them throughout the week and you won’t
have to spend money on take-out meals.

set specific activity times
Determine time slots
throughout the week when the
whole family is available. Devote
a few of these times to physical
activity. Try doing something
active after dinner or start the
weekend with a Saturday
morning walk.
plan for all weather
conditions
Choose some activities that do
not depend on the weather
conditions. Try mall walking,
indoor swimming, or active
video games. Enjoy outdoor
activities as a bonus whenever
the weather is nice.
plan ahead and track
your progress
Write your activity plans on
a family calendar. Let the kids
help in planning the activities.
Allow them to check it off after
completing each activity.
turn off the TV
Set a rule that no one can
spend more than 2 hours a
day playing video games,
watching TV, or on the computer
(except for school work). Instead
play an active family game,
dance or go for a walk.
include work around the
house
Involve the kids in yard
work and other active chores
around the house. Have them
help you with raking, weeding,
planting, or vacuuming
start small
Begin by introducing one
new family activity and add
more when you feel everyone is
ready. Take the dog for a longer
walk, play another ball game, or
go to an additional exercise
class
use what is available
Plan activities that require
little or no equipment or
facilities. Examples include
walking, jogging, jumping rope,
playing tag, and dancing.
Find out what programs your
community recreation center
offers for free or minimal charge.
include other families
Invite others to join your
family activities. This is a
great way for you and your kids
to spend time with friends while
being active. Plan parties with
active games, sign up for family
programs at the YMCA, or join
an outdoor recreational club.
build new skills
Enroll the kids in classes
they might enjoy such as
gymnastics, dance, or tennis.
Help them practice. This will
keep things fun and interesting,
and introduce new skills!
treat the family with
fun physical activity
When it is time to
celebrate as a family, do
something active as a reward.
Plan a trip to the zoo, park, or
lake to treat the family.
