The food you eat can have a direct effect on your energy level, physical health, and mood. A "healthy diet" is one that has enough of each essential nutrient, contains many foods from all of the basic food groups, provides the right amount of calories to maintain a healthy weight, and does not have too much fat, sugar, salt, or alcohol.

By choosing foods that can give you steady energy, you can help your body stay healthy. This may also help your mind feel good. The same diet doesn't work for every person. In order to find the best foods that are right for you, talk to your health care professional.

Regular Checkups = Healthy You! 

A well-woman visit is a checkup.

It's a time to see your doctor or nurse to:

• Discuss your family history, family planning, and personal habits, such as alcohol and tobacco use.
• Get or schedule necessary tests, such as screenings for blood pressure, cholesterol, and colorectal cancer.
• Set health goals, such as being active and maintaining a healthy weight.

When did you last have a physical? It's important to visit your doctor or
family nurse practitioner regularly. Visit our website for more information on
