Make things fishier! Fish have omega-3s (healthy fats) and tons of vitamins to keep you healthy. Try the less fishy-tasting types if it's the flavor you don't like.

You don't have to make all the healthy changes right away - for instance, gradually substitute ice cream for low-fat frozen yogurt or replace sugary cereal with plain.

Breads, breakfast cereals, and prepared foods, including soups may be high in salt and/or sugar. Read food labels for content and choose high-fiber, low-salt and low sugar options.

 Get the whole family playing together! Start a new tradition of spending Saturday or Sunday afternoon skating or playing touch football.      

Stuff your stuffing! With veggies that is - onions, celery, vegetables, or fruits like dried cranberries and less bread. Toss in whole wheat bread for an even healthier dish!

Cut the fat out of your gravy by refrigerating the pan juices and scraping off the solid layer of fat before making your gravy, or use a fat separator.

Choose fruits and vegetables more often than juice since fiber is found mainly in the peel and pulp.

Veg Out on the Sandwich. Ask for tomato, lettuce, onion, or other veggies on your sandwich.

Turn that holiday music up and dance! Take a break from watching your favorite holiday TV shows and challenge your family and friends to do jumping jacks, sit-ups, and push-ups during commercial breaks!

Can It. Go to the kitchen and get two of the heaviest cans that you can hold. Stand with your feet flat on the floor, with cans in your hands and your arms at your side. Pull the cans up to your chest - bending at the elbows.  Hold for 2 seconds and let your arms down slowly.  Repeat 10 times.

Show your loved ones you care by creating a heart healthy Valentine's Day snack out of unflavored gelatin and 100% fruit juice and then use a cookie cutter to make heart shapes. 
 

Speak up to your parents about buying healthier food at the grocery store to keep in the house.

Get plenty of ZZZs: While you're sleeping, your body grows and recovers from your days activities. If you don't give your body enough time to recover, it can catch up with you over time. Kids should get at least 9 hours of sleep every night.

Looking for a healthy Valentine's Day gift, make a fruit bouquet using strawberries, grapes, cantaloupe, honeydew and other colorful fruit. They are filled with nutrients and vitamins.

 Look at newspapers and flyers for activities that your whole family can do together, like a community fun run, walk or a car wash.    

Get others involved! Bringing more fruits and vegetables into your life can be a challenge. Invite your friends to get together and host an 'Iron Chef'-style challenge with recipes that include veggies. Create a cookbook of recipes and have everyone bring the dish they submitted so people can taste them.

Want to make your legs stronger? Try Wall Sits. Stand with your back against a wall, keeping your back to the wall, bend down into the sitting position with knees at a 90 degree angle, hold for 60 seconds.

Spend Valentine's Day with your friends and family. Instead of sitting around snacking - get moving, run, skate, play, bowl and have fun!

Add it On. Add fruits and vegetables to foods you already love. Try adding frozen peas to mac'n'cheese, veggies on top of pizza, and slices of fruit on top of breakfast cereals or low-fat ice-cream.

I dare you by the end of the day to complete 50 of each of the following: Jumping jacks, Sit-ups, Push-ups, and Lunges.
