Health Tip
Eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods. Your body needs 40 - 50 different nutrients daily, and no one food provides all of them. Use the Food Guide Pyramid (found on many food containers) and Nutrition Facts food labels as a guide for your individual daily needs.

Daily Bread
Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Colossians 3:12
