UMD Wellness - Spring 2007
61
DAYS OF 
runs from March 1 - April 30, 2007
All you have to do is keep track of your daily
15 minutes of physical
activity and consumption of 5
A Day servings of fruits and vegetables.
Take a walk. Climb the stairs. Work in the
yard. Physical activity need not be strenuous to be good
for you. Wear your pedometer!
Why 5 A Day? The 5 A Day for Better Health
Program is a national initiative to increase consumption
of fruits and vegetables by all Americans. Eating a diet
rich in fruits and vegetables every day will promote good
health and may help reduce the risk of stroke, high blood
pressure, diabetes, and some cancers. (Source:
