Dairy Max Representative Offers Tips on a Healthier Lifestyle in the New Year

Dairy Max Representative Offers Tips on a Healthier Lifestyle in the New Year
A lot of people make New Year's resolutions to lose weight, get more exercise and eat a healthier diet. Susan Allen with Dairy Max spoke with Radio Oklahoma Network's Ron Hays about a number of ways to achieve those goals.


"We're going to talk about three simple things to make a happy new you this year. And, of course, dairy is a part of that. A lot of people don't realize that people that have calcium dairy in their diets have a lot healthier weight as opposed to people who don't. Three servings is what we're striving for. The simple way to do that is one serving every meal, whether it's milk, cheese, or yogurt."


Allen says her three tips for a healthy diet and healthy weight all start with the letter "B."


"The first one is let's have breakfast every day. If you begin your day with breakfast you get more of the nutrients that you need throughout the day. People who skip breakfast don't ever make up those nutrients. And people who eat breakfast have a healthier weight than people who don't."


She says that a good breakfast can focus around three elements: a serving of dairy, a serving of whole grains, and a serving of fruit.


Allen says the second tip is to get back to the basics. She says the basics include eating the number of servings recommended by the USDA's My Plate program of dairy, proteins, whole grains, fruits and vegetables.


The third tip that Allen recommends for those who would have a healthier weight and live a healthier lifestyle is to banish the big plate.

"If you think about the size of the plate you normally eat on, could you use your salad plate instead? I do that a lot at home. Studies have shown that if you do that you're going to eat 30 percent less calories per meal."


She said that eating alone isn't sufficient by itself to promote optimum health.


"Of course, physical activity is very important to add to this. You can't really have one without the other."
