Getting good exercise and avoiding empty calories can be keys to excellent health in 2023.

Monica Nyman with the St. Louis District Dairy Council indicates getting exercise is one key factor to a healthy lifestyle. She recommends family outings that involve physical activity like hiking or swimming.

When it comes to our diets, a very simple thing we can incorporate daily is reducing empty calories. Nyman encourages eating slowly when we do eat which will help us also reduce how much we're taking in.
