Trim your waist and environmental waste.• Waist measurements of more than 40 inches for men and more than

35 inches for women increase the risk for diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Exercise more and eat less to trim your waist. Limit high calorie foods.

• Cut calories and car exhaust at the same time – walk and bike more; drive less. Doing these saves money on gas, too.

• Ride the bus and subway and carpool when you can.• When you shop, BYOB (bring your own bag). Use a cloth bag,

one made out of recycled materials, or re-use paper or plastic bags from past shopping trips. When you can, walk to local stores and markets.

• Control portion sizes. • To reduce packaging, buy food items in bulk when you can. Divide

bulk food items into single serving re-usable containers. Buy concentrated household products, such as laundry detergent, too.

Heart health and the health of the earth are in your hands.• Lowering your risk for heart disease isn’t just about eating healthy. To reduce

your risk of a heart attack (and stroke), the EPA recommends that you:– Avoidsecondhandsmokeandreduceyourexposuretotrafficandair

pollution.– Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by properly venting your gas stove,

furnace, dryer and other appliances.– Never leave a car running in a closed garage.– Reduce your use of household chemicals. When you do use them, make sure

your work area is well-ventilated. • Eat less meat and more plant-based foods. • Buy and eat whole, unprocessed foods and from local growers whenever you

can. Energy and water are needed (and waste is created) to make, package, and distribute packaged and processed foods. Most often, these foods cost more and also have excess salt, which can increase the risk for high blood pressure.

Nourish your body and the environment.• Eat green, orange, yellow, red, purple and other colors of

fruits and vegetables. Have 5 to 9 servings every day. • Choose other plant-based foods, such as whole-grain

breads and cereals, beans, peas, and nuts. • Buy organic foods. Choose fresh produce in season and

locally grown foods to save money and energy spent on transporting foods from up to thousands of miles away.

• Wash fruits and vegetables with clean tap water before using to remove soil particles and pesticides that might be on the foods. Wash items over a bowl. Pour the water from the bowl over your plants instead of down the drain.

• Create a compost in your backyard. Find out how from www.epa.gov/compost. Use it to fertilize your lawn.

• When you eat out, try restaurants that use locally grown foods. Find ones from www.dinegreen.com.

Reduce environmental risk factors for chronic diseases.Chronic diseases include arthritis, asthma, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, emphysema, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke. An unhealthy diet, inactivity and overweight, and tobacco use are common risk factors for many chronic diseases.• Live a healthy lifestyle. Be active. Walk. Rake leaves.• Limit exposure to air pollution to reduce the risk for problems

with asthma, heart disease, stroke, emphysema and other respiratory diseases.

• Reduce exposure to pesticides. Chronic, low-dose exposure to pesticides has been linked to Parkinson’s disease (PD), brain tumors, lymphomas, asthma, and birth defects. Pesticides are inlawnandgardensprays,insectrepellants,fleacollars,andnon-organic foods. Find out about earth-friendly fertilizers from www.healthylandscapes.com.
