Encouraging dads to get on track to better health – 4
Narrator: This is NIH Health Matters. I’m Joe Balintfy. Small changes to dads’ eating and exercise habits can make a big difference in health.
Rodgers: Eating smaller portions may help dads control their weight.
Narrator: Dr. Griffin Rodgers at the National Institutes of Health also recommends adding physical activity.
Rodgers: Consider a brisk walk after dinner with your family, weight training with a buddy or playing basketball with co-workers or on a local team.
Narrator: He reminds that dads should start with a level of activity that they feel is doable and slowly increase the frequency and intensity of their exercise.
