mainly on account of their reduced access to medical services
and the underlying determinants of health (water, housing,
sanitation, nutrition, etc.)

signals to other parts of the brain and body. When the neural
networks involving these chemicals are impaired, the function

Roadblocks and Solutions
Roadblock Solution
I don’t have time. Make your new healthy habit a priority. Fit in
physical activity whenever and wherever you can.
Try taking the stairs or getting off the bus a stop
early if it is safe to do so. Set aside one grocery
shopping day a week, and make healthy meals that
you can freeze and eat later when you don’t have
time to cook.
Healthy habits cost
too much.
You can walk around the mall, a school track, or a
local park for free. Eat healthy on a budget by
buying in bulk and when items are on sale, and by
choosing frozen or canned fruits and vegetables.

Roadblock Solution
I can’t make this
change alone.
Join others who have the same objective. This will help
you stay motivated and safe. Get your family or
coworkers on the healthy eating bandwagon. Plan
healthy meals together with your family
I don’t like physical
activity.
Forget the old notion that being physically active means
lifting weights in a gym. You can be active in many ways,
including dancing, walking, or gardening. Make your
own list of options that appeal to you. Explore options
you never thought about, and stick with what you
enjoy.
I don’t like healthy
foods.
Try making your old favorite recipes in healthier new
ways. For example, you can trim fat from meats and
reduce the amount of butter, sugar, and salt you cook
with. Use low-fat cheeses or milk rather than whole-
milk foods.
