1. Beans (kidney, navy, pinto, etc.) may reduce your risk of chronic disease. They are low in total fat, contain no saturated
fat or cholesterol, and provide nutrients such as fiber, protein, calcium, iron, folic acid and potassium. Aim for three cups
of beans per week!

2. Normal, healthy adults require 8-10 cups (64-80 ounces) of fluid each day to maintain bodily functions. Water, flavored water,
coffee, tea, diet sodas, milk and juice are all considered part of your total fluid intake for the day.

3. Individuals with diabetes should exercise 30-60 minutes on most days of the week (4-5 days). Keep this activity moderate in
intensity to reap the most benefit.

4. Keep your eyes healthy! Avoid overexposure to sunlight. Wear sunglasses that screen out ultraviolet rays.
