(NAPSI)—What sounds more like spring than the crack of a bat hitting a baseball or the screech of sneakers on a court? Spring is a great time to get back to the track, field or blacktop for fun and healthy competition. Play to win this season, and fuel your game with healthy eating. You may build habits to help you move more, eat better and stay in shape throughout the year.
Challenge yourself to better health this spring with these tips from the Weight-control Information Network (WIN), a national information service of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health:
