 What one habit would you encourage for a healthier, happier 2004?|  |  | Kathi Thomas Thomas, associate professor health and human performance
 "Set a goal of 60 minutes of daily physical activity (walking, climbing
stairs, shoveling snow, as well as exercise and sport) to increase health
and happiness."
 
 
 |  |  |  | Sally Barclay clinician, food science and human nutrition
 "Eat more fruits and vegetables (5-10 servings a day) and whole grains (at
least 3 servings a day) to maximize intake of nutrients, fiber and
antioxidants."

 ISU Financial Counseling Clinic
 "If you carry credit card debt, make a plan to eliminate the balance and
commit to not carrying a balance. Consumer debt creates a huge barrier to
individual financial success. If you owe $10,000 and your interest rate is
18 percent, paying only the minimum balance (2 percent) will take 48 years
and cost $36,824."
