Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn.

Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator or rev up your household chores. Consistency is key

Healthy eating is about your habits over time rather than any single meal. I recommend focusing on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while choosing healthy proteins such as beans, nuts, fish, lean meats, and low-fat dairy.

When cooking, try to use heart-healthy oils like olive or canola, reduce your intake of sugar and salt, and choose minimally processed foods whenever possible.

Heart disease starts when plaque builds up in your arteries. Things you can control, like smoking and diet, and things you can’t, like age or family history, can increase the buildup.

Visit your doctor to learn your risk and take steps to protect your heart. Learn more: heart.org

I was reviewing some data on holiday weight management. It's interesting to note that over 90% of people gain weight during the holidays. A recent survey showed that nearly half (47.1%) of participants typically gain 4-9 pounds, and another 18% gain 10-15 pounds.

I try to balance out my holiday eating by focusing on salads and choosing healthy options in between.

What are you doing to maintain a healthy weight and balance out the extra carbs this season?
