(NAPSA)—When it comes to getting into shape and improving your overall health, it’s very easy to get sidetracked—and see your best-laid plans fall by the wayside. The key is to make health part of your everyday routine. So to help consumers become more “well rounded” with their everyday health habits, celebrity host Samantha Harris and a team of fitness and nutrition experts have teamed up with Old Lon- don—the makers of America’s favorite Melba toast snack—to offer up easy-to-manage health and fitness tips and kick off an online sweepstakes. For everyday health, Harris suggests: 1. Taking naps. A guilty pleasure—yet healthy! Being able to catch up on sleep is so important for overall health. 2. Taking fitness classes, such as yoga. Being part of a class helps motivate people to work out regularly and have the support of others. 3. Making healthy meal choices such as sushi, which is a great source of protein. It’s even better for you with brownrice. 4. Soaking in a hot bath. It’s relaxing for muscles and provides a natural boost to your immune system. 5. Going for walks. It couldn’t be easier to get exercise, and it helps you wind down after a long day. 6. Time together. Playing with your children is a great way to expend energy and make sure you get as much together time as possible. Put on music, sing and dance! 7. Incorporating your baby into your workout routine. Run/walk with the stroller or have your child with you as you workout. 8. Fitting in exercise like any other appointment in your day— and makeit a priority to be sure that appointment happens. 9. Allowing healthy snacks between meals. Three to four snacks a day helps to keep up energy. 10. Planning ahead andsetting goals.
