9 Good Health Guidelines

Here's a poem to help you remember the 9 Good Health Guidelines!

Nine IS Fine!

Keep your focus on the nine
I guarantee that you’ll feel fine.

Fruits and vegetables, leafy or raw
At least five servings is the law.

Pudding, yogurt, or even cheese
Helps you get your dairy needs.

Choose whole-wheat pasta and brown rice too.
The processed versions should be very few.

2 teaspoons of oil are a daily must
Safflower and olive are types you can trust.

Cakes and cookies may be a special treat
But you must limit the amount you eat.

Soy products, beans and meat that’s lean
Keep you satisfied and provide protein.

Let green diamonds be what you choose
These are the foods that help you lose.

6 glasses of liquid is the amount that’s right
Anything will be okay, even Crystal Light.

Move 30 minutes most every day
Make it fun, it’ll be more like play.

A multivitamin you should take
It’s for your health for goodness sake.

Fit these all in day-to-day
Soon you’ll be hearing yourself say,
“I feel great and I’m looking divine
Because I’ve included my daily nine.”
