Do vegetarians get enough protein? Yes
Do most non-vegetarian people get enough fibre? No. 
Most of us need to try to increase our fruit and veggie intake.
Eat more plants! Only plants contain fiber. There is no fiber in steak :-).

Uncontrolled high blood pressure is one of the common causes of kidney failure

Uncontrolled high blood pressure is one of the common causes of kidney failure. If you have high blood pressure, think about what you are eating, increase your veggies, exercise regularly, take your medications, keep your appointments with your doctor. Protect your kidneys (and your brain and your heart, of course) and stay healthy!

Make small changes

By making even small changes in your diet and activity level, you'll notice yourself feeling and looking better. But don't get discouraged if your weight loss doesn't happen overnight. A loss of one to two pounds per week is considered a healthy weight loss. And, according to the American Heart Association, people who lose weight gradually are more likely to keep it off.

Eat a wide variety of vegetables

Eat a wide variety of vegetables, including dark greens. Along with the many outstanding nutrients, the fiber in vegetables (and whole fruits) will help you feel full.
Try to eat a fruit with breakfast and salad or vegetables with lunch and dinner every day.

Just pick one thing

11/7/2012

I realize that a lot of the things we have talked about, you have probably heard them before, and I have said them before, but are you putting them into practice? They say it takes 21 days to form a habit. If you try to change too many things at once, you may not be successful. So pick one habit, just one thing that you think you can do. Can you eat more vegetables? Can you eat a fruit every day? Can you drink a glass of water before each meal? Can you walk on the spot for 15 minutes while you are watching the news? Just pick one thing and try to stick with it for 21 days. When you have got that one down, pick another thing and see if you can nail that for 21 days. You will be surprised at what you can accomplish. Slow and steady wins the race!
Love yourself, take care of your health!

Add more activity to your day

You can add more activity into your day by making some small adjustments, including:
• Parking at the farthest end of the parking lot.
• Taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
• Going for a walk on your lunch break.
• Walking to work, school, to get groceries, etc.
• Playing with your kids and/or pet.
• Doing sit-ups, dancing, walking on the spot or jogging on a treadmill while watching TV.
Every little bit helps!

Eat a variety of whole fruit

Eat a variety of whole fruit, rather than fruit juice. "The whole fruit has more fiber, it's more filling, and it's naturally sweet." Have a fruit as a snack when you are craving something sweet. Less calories, less sugar, more fiber, more vitamins!

Start moving!

You should strive to exercise for 30 to 60 minutes on most days of the week. Vary your routine to include aerobic exercises (jogging, dancing, swimming, kickboxing) and light weight training. The aerobic exercises raise your heart rate, which helps burn calories, while weight training adds muscles mass to your body. Muscle burns calories faster than fat, so the more muscle you have, the more calories you'll burn. If you haven't been physically active in awhile, you'll need to start slowly (for just 5 minutes if you feel too tired at first) and work your way up to longer, more intense workout. A great way to start moving is by taking a walk outside.

Avoid fast foods

Bake, grill, steam or broil food instead of frying it. Avoid fast foods and fried food. Try to cook at home rather than buy on the road. What you cook yourself will usually be more healthy than what you buy.
