Daily Physical Activity for Americans

THINK FITNESS
Recommendations for Daily Physical Activity (http://www.health.gov/paguidelines).

Experts suggest that about 2 1/2 hours of moderate physical activity each week.

• Physical activity can be intermittent, 10 mins here and there, throughout the week
• Resistance activity can be included as part of the exercise total for the week

I am taking a Nutrition class for this semester. I had several options to choose different courses, but decided to go on this class. I play a boxing for habit. So, the concentration on adequate consumption of nutrients has naturally become one of my interests. I feel happy to learn new information that I didn't notice before.
Here, I want to tell you a website (www.mypyramid.gov), which helps you design balanced diets with abundance of good nutrients. As I quote from my textbook, here it says, "the USDA Food Guide provides a general road map for designing a healthful diet." : D

Information in detail can be found in an official site linked to HHS above (Health and Human Services)
