			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Awesome post over at the <a href="http://blogs.ajc.com/better-health/">Better Health</a> blog.  <a href="http://bit.ly/8yKIv">HEALTHY EATING: Little things can add up</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;I learned encouraging news that little bouts of exercise — as few as 10 minutes in duration — can add up to significant gains in fitness.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, it’s the little bites eaten here and there above our daily caloric needs that can add up to sizable weight gain over time.&#8221;</p>
<p>This has a strange, and fun analogy to a todo I got from my Tax preparer at our meeting the other day.  He wanted me to get the mileage for when I use my car to support my wife&#8217;s professional art career.  &#8220;At $0.58 per mile, it can really add up over a year.&#8221; True stuff!</p>
<p>It does not take much to make a significant impact on our health.  The trick is to make it a habit.  Including little bouts of exercise and caloric reduction in your day can go a long way toward reaching your fitness goals and maintaining a strong and healthy body. (Which is your birthright, BTW!)</p>
<p>Some tips from random sources:</p>
<ul>
<li>Drink a full glass of water first thing in the morning, before you go to the bathroom.</li>
<li>Park a couple extra blocks from your destination.</li>
<li><a href="http://bit.ly/zhECD">Kegel</a> when waiting in line, driving or sitting.  No one can see you do it, and it&#8217;s good for you!</li>
<li>Put your shoes on standing up.</li>
<li>Have some coleslaw with your burger instead of fries.</li>
<li>Pause for a couple of minutes halfway through your lunch to see if you are satisfied.  If so, save the rest for dinner.</li>
</ul>
<p>Finding little ways to sneak in extra movement, and sneak out some calories can be an engaging and fun game to play against yourself.</p>
<p>What are your ideas?  Let me know in the comment section.</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>
